Abstract
Thrombotic complications often cause death in patients with chronic Ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). In spite of numerous studies, the pathogenesis of thrombus formation in MPN patients remains unclear. Its mechanism is complex and is determined by many factors. One of the essential phases in thrombogenesis is characterized by the activation of cell mechanisms and formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). NETs consist of DNA strands, histones, granular proteins and along with pathogen destruction provide an ideal matrix for platelet and clotting mechanism activation.
