A member asked:

Platelets have gone to 1.2 million, saw a hematologist but he said he thinks its reaction thrombocytosis but has no clue to what could cause it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See another doctor: If your consultant did not give you an explanation of whether you do or do not have essential thrombocythemia, whether you should be tested for jak2, and whether to pursue other studies, then there was probably a communication failure or worse. Get seen by a different hematologist.
