D013922	Thrombocytosis	Increased numbers of platelets in the peripheral blood. (Dorland, 27th ed)	Thrombocythemia,Thrombocythemias,Thrombocytoses
D013926	Thrombopoietin	A humoral factor that stimulates the production of thrombocytes (BLOOD PLATELETS). Thrombopoietin stimulates the proliferation of bone marrow MEGAKARYOCYTES and their release of blood platelets. The process is called THROMBOPOIESIS.
