What Is Blood Coagulation?

First, increased blood coagulability may be a primary cause of marked thrombocytosis; when platelet counts are significantly elevated, blood tends to clot more readily. Second, excessive synthesis of coagulation factors within the body should be considered. Additionally, thrombus formation may also contribute. Beyond these causes, certain medications the patient is taking could also play a role; therefore, a thorough diagnostic evaluation is warranted.
