Key result
G-CSF is associated with acute arterial thrombosis driven by rapid platelet increase and aggregation.
Why the study?
Patients receiving granulocyte colony-stimulating factor may develop acute arterial thrombosis related to platelet aggregation, but the mechanisms and risk factors are not well described.
Case Report (n=1)
G-CSF administration may cause a rapid increase in platelet levels and aggregation, potentially leading to acute arterial thrombosis.

Caution with G-CSF in lymphoma; hypothesis-generating case report leaves thrombotic risk open for prospective study.
Kawachi et al. (1996) conducted a case report in Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (n=1). Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was evaluated on Acute arterial thrombosis. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor administration in a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was associated with acute arterial thrombosis due to rapid platelet increase and aggregation.
