Özet

Objective: The accompanying thrombocytosis is referred to as the major factor associated with thromboembolism in iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Increased viscosity may increase the risk of thrombosis. We hypothesized that increased platelet count-with reactive thrombocytosis-might also affect plasma viscosity. We planned to evaluate the influence of normal and high platelet count on plasma viscosity in IDA patients.
