Secondary thrombocytosis is treated by addressing the underlying cause (e.g. treating any infection, any underlying inflammatory condition, giving iron supplements if there is iron deficiency, etc.).

Of these, 28 (20.1%) had thrombocytosis with PLTC above 500 × 100 9 /L, and 15 of them (10.7%) had very high values above 600 × 100 9 /L. Increased levels of fibrinogen and D-dimers were also ...

Secondary thrombocytosis is when an underlying disorder triggers the stem cells in your bone marrow to make more platelets. It's unlikely you'll have symptoms from secondary thrombocytosis.

Thrombocytosis, defined here as a PLT count of >500,000/μl, has been estimated to occur in 1 to 13% of children, usually in the first year of life. 14, 15 Although secondary thrombocytosis can be ...
