Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is often associated with thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications, mostly at platelet counts exceeding 600 ร 10 9 /L. There are, however, a few reports of such complications in ET at considerably lower platelet levels and the therapeutic approach to affected patients w
Serum thrombopoietin (TPO) levels in 50 essential thrombocythemia (ET) patients were measured using a highly sensitive sandwich ELISA. In nine cases, TPO levels were measured at two points with different platelet counts. ET patients showed significantly higher serum TPO levels (n = 59, 2.70 ยฑ 2.74 f
Emerging issues in stimulating apheresis platelet donors with platelet growth factors, the relative costs of apheresis and random donor platelet concentrates, optimal platelet transfusion dose, and leucoreduction of platelet products have caused renewed debate regarding apheresis products vs. random
