Essential Thrombocythemia is a rare blood disorder characterized by the overproduction of platelets by the bone marrow. This increase in platelet count can lead to various complications, including blood clots, which may cause serious health issues such as strokes or heart attacks. The exact cause of this condition is often unknown, but it can be associated with mutations in certain genes. Patients with Essential Thrombocythemia may experience symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or vision problems. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests to measure platelet levels and genetic testing to identify mutations. Treatment options may include medications to lower platelet counts and reduce the risk of complications.
