A high cholesterol count may be a risk for heart disease. Cholesterol indicates the fat or lipid content in the body. Increase in this count may be due to a unhealthy diet, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, smoking/tobacco use, diabetes, hypertension etc.
Normal platelet count in blood is usually 150-400K per ml of blood. A high platelet count may be due to several reasons such as anemia, infection or even cancer.
