myeloproliferative
Excess blood cell production
Myeloproliferative describes conditions in which the bone marrow produces too many blood cells.
The term appears almost exclusively in medical contexts: myeloproliferative neoplasms, myeloproliferative disorders.
These conditions involve abnormal proliferation of cells in the myeloid lineage—red blood cells, platelets, or certain white blood cells.
