Causes

Increase platelet counts can be due to a number of disease processes:

• Essential (primary)
  • Essential thrombocytosis (a form of myeloproliferative disease)
  • Other myeloproliferative disorders such as chronic myelogenous leukemia, polycythemia vera, myelofibrosis
• Reactive (secondary)
  • Inflammation
  • Surgery (which leads to an inflammatory state)
  • Hyposplenism (decreased breakdown due to decreased function of the spleen)
  • Hemorrhage and/or iron deficiency
