Iron deficiency anemia can cause a high platelet count but can it also cause platelets to clump?My Lab work said my platelets were clumped on my blood smear but appeared to be increased in number so a manual differential in 8 weeks. This is the second sample in two months to show clumping. Sometimes Pseudothrombocytopenia (false thrombocytopenia) occurs where the number of platelets, seen on a complete blood count analysis (CBC), may appear low because of the clumping of platelets. This can lead to a smaller number of platelets seen throughout the slide reviewed by the technician. If this is suspected, the blood can be redrawn in a tube with a material that prevents clumping of platelets for repeat analysis.
