Thrombocytosis (Excess Platelets)

by: Joe Hing Kwok Chu          按 此 看 中 文

Thrombocytosis is a condition in which the body produces excess number of platelets. The complications of thrombocytosis may include strokes, heart attacks , bleeding or blood clots.

Thrombocytosis is classified into:

(1) Primary thrombocytosis also called essential thrombocythemia, is a single disease entity, which is not caused by other health problems.

(2) Secondary thrombocytosis can be caused by other health problems, such as: chronic inflammation, severe bleeding, iron deficiency, stress, surgery, medication, osteoporosis, splenectomy, anemia, polycythemia vera (splenomegalic polycythemia, Vaquez-Osler syndrome, erythremia), and cancer.

Prognosis
Some patients may die as a result of blood clots or uncontrolled bleeding but many patients with thrombocytosis remain symptom free for long periods of time.
