Thrombocytosis

Extract

• Blood platelet, or thrombocyte, concentrations vary between individuals but remain rather constant in each individual.
• Thrombocytosis can be classified into two categories: primary thrombocytosis, i.e. thrombocytosis related to myeloproliferative diseases, and secondary or reactive thrombocytosis.
• Most cases of thrombocytosis are reactive. In such cases, platelets rarely cause problems, and treatment of the underlying disease will correct platelet levels.
