Essential thrombocythemia is the category of myeloproliferative syndromes, generally characterized by a group of clonal stem cell diseases that present a disturbance in the growth of one or more sets of hematopoietic cells. All long clinical treatment, patients may experience gastrointestinal disorders and other metabolic processes that can lead to weight loss and malnutrition. Cytokine is involved in the control of appetite, digestive, and metabolic processes in the body, it can be assumed that increased stimulation could impair the control of these processes leading to loss of body mass. Effective and systematic nutritional intervention is required to ensure patient compliance with treatment and improved nutritional status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
