stupid question what is ET?

ET is essential thrombocytosis. It is in the same family as PV. ET patients have high platelets. Usually other blood counts are normal unless they are morphing to PV or MF.

@rlybolt Remember what your elementary teacher said: “There are no stupid questions!” ET is Essential Thrombocythemia. That’s what I have, but I understand that other blood disorders are treated with HU as well.
