Thrombocytosis

A platelet is a cell present in human blood that is responsible for its clotting. They play an important role in the trauma care process. However, too high levels of these cells in the blood can lead to the formation of blood clots, which can block blood flow and cause serious health problems.

Thrombocythemia means an increase in the number of platelets in the blood. This phenomenon can occur as a result of various reasons, such as hereditary factors,



Platelets are blood cells that are responsible for blood clotting and protecting the body from infection. Under normal conditions, the body produces and maintains a certain level of platelets necessary for the normal functioning of the hematopoietic system and stopping bleeding in case of vascular damage. However, under certain conditions, the body can begin to produce more platelets, leading to a condition known as thrombocytosis.

One of the most common causes of thrombocytosis is an inflammatory process. Inflammation can occur with various diseases, such as influenza, pneumonia, arthritis, infectious diseases and others. When there is inflammation, the body begins to produce more active forms of white blood cells and other immune cells that help fight infection. However, during this fight, the body produces a large number of inflammatory mediators that stimulate platelet production.

In addition, thrombocytosis may be associated with other diseases such as cancer, autoimmune diseases and blood diseases. This means that thrombocytosis is not only a symptom of an inflammatory process, but may reflect a disease or disorder in the functioning of the body.

Thrombocytopenia is the inverse condition of platelets. When their number becomes less than normal. Thrombopenic syndrome leads to increased bleeding and the development of thrombotic complications. Depending on the cause, pathogenetic mechanisms and degree of thrombocytopenia, appropriate treatment approaches are used. There are primary causes of thrombocytopenic syndrome, not related to the oncological process, and secondary causes - the development of thrombocytopenia, caused by the tumor process
