Today we are going to cover what to do when we encounter thrombocytosis on a full blood count, always focusing on what is relevant in Primary Care only. I have based this episode on Haematological guidance by Camden CCG, Manchester Foundation Trust and King’s Health Partners. The links to them are in the episode description. Right, let’s jump into it.Thrombocytosis is when the number of platelets is high, which is usually defined as a raised platelet count above 450 × 10⁹/L.But before moving on, let’s clarify the terminology: should we call it thrombocytosis or thrombocythemia? There is an important difference. Thrombocytosis is much more common and arises as a secondary response to another condition, which is why it is also known as reactive thrombocytosis. In contrast, thrombocythemia, also called primary or essential thrombocythemia, is far less common and represents a myeloproliferative disorder in which the bone marrow produces platelets in an uncontrolled, abnormal way.Another important distinction is that patients with reactive thrombocytosis have normal platelets, so their risk of thrombosis and bleeding is relatively low. On the other hand, patients with thrombocythemia have abnormal platelets, which increases their risk of both blood clots and bleeding complications. From a clinical perspective, thrombocythemia often presents with splenomegaly and a platelet count greater than 1000 × 10⁹/L.So, let’s have a look at the possible causes. Causes of thrombocytosis include:• Iron Deficiency ...
