[|Human|] Hallo Dr.  My Sister (42) was diagonised with  Chronic thrombocytosis last year.She has since then been on medication and at the moment she is totaly unwell which we do not know if what she feels is from the plateletes or from the medication. I have have been checking out the treatments available and have come recently learnt about plateletpheresis. I feel it`s the only chance she has. Please advice.
[|AI|]  Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with Chat Doctor!  I think it is a essential thrombocytes that needs some genetic/molecular mutation test for confirmation and there is no reasonable condition for high platelet count in this condition! There are medicines/injections and the last resort could be some platelet removal! However, I would like to know her treatment history, any previous disease, bone marrow/other test reports and present/past platelet counts.... Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing her good health.
