I have essential thrombocythemia. is this a life long disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : Treatment of essential thrombocythemia depends on your risk of blood-clotting or bleeding episodes. If you're younger than 60, have had no signs or symptoms, and have no other risk factors for developing blood clots, such as smoking, you may simply need periodic medical checkups.
