What complications may occur with thrombocytosis?

Answer 1

Complications of thrombocytosis include stroke, heart attack, and formation of blood clots in the arms and legs. A doctor should be notified whenever bleeding is unexplained or prolonged or the patient develops.

Answer 2

Thrombocytopenia is a condition where a patient has a low platelet count. Platelets assist in blood clotting, and a reduced count leaves one at risk of excessive bleeding.
