Is Bloodwork Showing Large Platelets Which Would Not Quantify As Numbers Concerning?

I was told from my recent physical and bloodwork that i have adequate number of platelets but they are large and they could not really quantify. All other blood cells are normal as well as liver functions. I was told by my physician not to worry, nut should see hematology anyway as a precaution. Should I be concerned?

No need to consult for there.if your other blood count is normal and if you dont have other abnormality then forget that. Many person have large platelets without any problems. And ya its true that its difficult to quantify large platelets because counter measures it by size so its difficult but no need to consern.
