A REVIEW: THROMBOCYTOSIS

Abstract: Thrombocytosis is a clinical condition that is frequently seen, with a high percentage of instances being found by chance. The diagnosis of thrombocytosis might be difficult due to the wide range of possible diagnoses. Thrombocytosis may be fake, the result of a reaction, or the result of a clonal problem. This distinction is significant because it has effects on assessment, prognosis, and treatment. The myeloproliferative neoplasms, particularly essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera, are linked with clonal thrombocytosis, which has a distinct prognosis profile and a significantly elevated risk of thrombosis. The motivation behind these illnesses' treatment plans is this risk. New therapeutic targets are awaiting investigation in clinical studies using targeted treatments for thrombocytosis.[1]
