High-Yield Explanation
*Thrombopoietin is present in the blood as well as in a bound state with the platelets. It also binds with the megakaryocytes. It is produced by the liver and the kidneys. * When thrombocytopenia (reduction in platelet count) occurs, thrombopoietin level in blood rises. This helps the megakaryocytes in producing new platelets rapidly.
