Essential thrombocythaemia (ET) is a rare condition which affects the bone marrow â the spongy material found in bones. Bone marrow is where our blood cells are made. In ET, too many platelets are made. Platelets help the blood to clot. ET usually affects people over 50. It doesnât always cause symptoms and may be found after a blood test is taken for other reasons. Your doctor may suggest particular blood tests to diagnose ET.
