Abnormal condition of clotting cells

An abnormal condition of clotting cells, often referred to as thrombocythemia, involves an excessive number of platelets in the blood. This can lead to an increased risk of thrombosis, where blood clots form inappropriately, potentially causing complications such as stroke or heart attack. It can be primary, stemming from bone marrow disorders, or secondary, due to other medical conditions. Proper diagnosis and management are essential to mitigate the risks associated with this condition.
