What is the term for increased PLTs?

Thrombocytopenia
Leukocytosis
Polycythemia
Thrombocytosis

The correct answer is: Thrombocytosis

Thrombocytopenia is the opposite of increased PLTs, it is a condition where there is a decrease in PLTs. Leukocytosis refers to an increase in white blood cells, not PLTs. Polycythemia refers to an increase in red blood cells, not PLTs. Therefore, the only option that refers to an increase in PLTs is Thrombocytosis, making it the correct answer.
