Essential Thrombocytosis
Essential thrombocytosis is a blood disorder in which the bone marrow produces an excessive number of platelets, the cells responsible for clotting. It belongs to the group of chronic disorders of blood production.
How it presents: many people notice no symptoms and the finding arises in routine tests; others may report headache, tingling in the hands or feet, or a feeling of dizziness.
Why monitor it? An elevated platelet count can alter the way blood circulates, so periodic follow-up is important.
Who to see? The hematologist is the professional who studies and monitors blood disorders; the internist and the endocrinologist can collaborate depending on the context. If a test shows elevated platelets, it is worth reviewing it with one of these specialists.
