Thrombosis is defined as the formation of a blood - clot (thrombus) inside a blood vessel, which can obstruct blood flow. A decrease in platelet production may affect clot - forming ability but is not thrombosis itself. An increase in red blood cell count is related to conditions like polycythemia and not thrombosis. The reduction of blood flow is a consequence that can be caused by thrombosis but is not the definition of thrombosis.
