What causes high Plateletcrit and low Monocytes?

High Plateletcrit and low Monocytes can be caused by many reasons.

If your Plateletcrit is in between 0.2 % and 0.39 % and your Monocytes is in between 2 % and 10 % then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Plateletcrit and Monocytes respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

High Plateletcrit and low Monocytes can be caused by a lot of reasons. If you take Plateletcrit and Monocytes blood tests and the results are higher than 0.39 % for Plateletcrit and lower than 2 % for Monocytes, your physician may recommend more tests to figure out the problem. You might also get these tests if your physician thinks you have some other disease.
