  2. What is Thrombocytosis? Platelets are blood particles produced within the bone marrow that play an important role in the process of forming blood clots. Thrombocytosis is a disorder where your body produces too many platelets. It is known as reactive thrombocytosis or secondary thrombocytosis when the cause is an underlying condition, like an infection. Less commonly, when thrombocytosis has no apparent underlying condition as a cause, the disorder is known as primary thrombocythemiaor essential thrombocythemia. It is a blood and bone marrow disease. Your doctor may detect thrombocytosis in a routine blood test result that shows a high platelet level. If your blood test indicates thrombocytosis, it is important to determine whether it is reactive thrombocytosis or essential thrombocythemia to know how to manage the condition.

  3. Symptoms of Thrombocytosis People with thrombocytosis often do not have signs or symptoms. Signs and symptoms of reactive thrombocytosis, if they do happen, relate to the underlying condition. People with essential thrombocythemia may have signs and symptoms related to blood clots and bleeding, including:    Headache    Dizziness or lightheadedness    Chest pain    Weakness    Numbness or tingling of the hands and feet

  4. When should you see a doctor? Because thrombocytosis is not likely to cause symptoms, you probably would not know you have it unless a routine blood test reveals a higher-than-normal number of platelets. If that happens, your doctor will try to determine the reason. Causes of Thrombocytosis Bone marrow — the spongy tissue inside your bones — contains stem cells that could become red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets. Platelets stick together, helping blood to form a clot that stops bleeding when you damage a blood vessel, like when you cut yourself. Thrombocytosis happens when your body produces too many platelets. Get More Details Information Click Here
