Эссенциальный тромбоцитоз - what does this mean
Essential thrombocythemia (et) is a disorder of the blood caused by an overproduction of platelets, which are necessary for normal blood clotting. it is caused by a mutation in the jak2 gene, which leads to an overproduction of platelets, resulting in an increased risk of blood clots, stroke, and heart attack.
What happens during the disease - эссенциальный тромбоцитоз
Essential thrombocythemia is a myeloproliferative disorder caused by an abnormal increase in the production of platelets in the bone marrow. it is believed to be caused by a mutation of the jak2 gene, which is responsible for regulating the production of platelets. the mutation causes an overproduction of platelets, leading to an increased risk of thrombosis and other related complications.
