Overview

Thrombocytosis is the presence of high platelet counts in the blood, and can be either reactive or primary (also termed essential and caused by a myeloproliferative disease). Although often symptomless (particularly when it is a secondary reaction), it can predispose to thrombosis in some patients.

Definition

95% of the population will have a platelet count between 100,000 and 450,000 per mm³. Thrombocytosis is defined as >500,000. Extreme thrombocytosis is defined as >1,000,000. Generally, a normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 and 450,000 per mm³. These limits, however, are determined by the 2.5th lower and upper percentile, and a deviation does not necessary imply any form of disease. Nevertheless, counts over 750,000 (and especially over a million) are considered serious enough to warrant investigation and intervention.

Overview

Pathophysiology

Thrombocytosis is either reactive or autonomous. In one study of 91 patients with platelet count >600,000, 70% were reactive and 22% autonomous. In 280 patients with platelet count >1,000,000 82% were reactive and 14% were autonomous. 8% had both. Among reactive causes of thrombocytosis, infection (30%), Post-surgical (15%), Both (30%), Malignancy (10%), Post splenectomy (10%) and acute blood loss/iron deficiency (10%) are the most common causes.

Autonomous causes of thrombocytosis include Essential Thrombocytosis, Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML), Polycythemia Vera, Agnogenic Myeloid Metaplasia and Myelodysplasia. The degree of thrombocytosis does not help determine whether the thrombocytosis is reactive or not.

Overview

Causes

Increase platelet counts can be due to a number of disease processes:

Essential (Primary)
- Essential thrombocytosis (a form of myeloproliferative disease)
- Other myeloproliferative disorders such as chronic myelogenous leukemia, polycythemia vera, myelofibrosis
Reactive (Secondary)
- Inflammation
- Surgery (which leads to an inflammatory state)
- Hyposplenism (decreased breakdown due to decreased function of the spleen)
- Hemorrhage and/or iron deficiency
- Drud Side Effect- Aztreonam, Ceftazidime, Ibuprofen
