==[[Essential thrombocytosis overview|Overview]]==
'''Essential thrombocytosis''' '''(ET)''' is a rare hematologic disorder characterized by overproduction of platelets in the absence of an underlying disease.Platelets are responsible for hemostasis that is to control bleeding by forming plugs at the site of injury. Though overproduced, the platelets in ET are usually dysfunctional resulting in the vascular complications.
