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 thrombocythemia or
  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.

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

• 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.
