Key result
Platelet hyperaggregability was present in 6 of 7 patients with thrombosis and was closely associated with ischemic attacks in patients with thrombocythemia.

Should not yet change practice in thrombocythemia; leaves open causal role of hyperaggregability in myeloproliferative thrombosis.
Observational (n=39)
Is platelet hyperaggregability associated with thrombosis in patients with thrombocythemia?
Platelet hyperaggregability is closely associated with thrombosis and ischemic attacks in patients with thrombocythemia due to myeloproliferative diseases.
Kenneth K. Wu (1978) conducted an observational in Thrombocythemia and reactive thrombocytosis (n=39). Platelet hyperaggregability vs. Normal or hypoactive platelet function was evaluated on Thrombosis. Platelet hyperaggregability was present in 6 of 7 patients with thrombosis and was closely associated with ischemic attacks in patients with thrombocythemia.
