Abstract:
Objective To estimate the iron level in the patients with thrombocytosis for differential diagnosis.Methods A retrospective analysis on 98 thrombocytosis patients was performed by studying hemogram,iron staining in bone marrow and serum iron and ferritin level.Results In the patients whose platelet count were between 400?10(9)/L and 800?10(9)/L 40.8% were diagnosed as iron-deficient anemia,while in the patients whose platelet count were higher than 800?10(9)/L 81.5% were diagnosed as essential thrombocytosis(ET).Of 27 ET cases 2 had lower serum ferritin values but their serum iron levels were in normal range.Conclusion The patients with platelet count between 400?10(9)L and 800?10(9)/L may be secondary thrombocytosis,while the patients with platelet count higher than 800?10(9)/L may be diagnosed as ET,but other conditions such as iron deficiency should be excluded.
