Øget knoglemarvsretikulin menes at være et resultat af stimulering af TPO- receptorerne, hvilket resulterer i et øget antal megakaryocytter i knoglemarven, som efterfølgende kan afgive cytokiner.
Increased bone marrow reticulin is believed to be a result of TPO receptor stimulation, leading to an increased number of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow, which may subsequently release cytokines.
