Erythrocytosis in children and adolescents-classification, characterization, and consensus recommendations for the diagnostic approach [PDF]

open access: yesPediatric Blood and Cancer, 2013
During recent years, the increasing knowledge of genetic and physiological changes in polycythemia vera (PV) and of different types of congenital erythrocytosis has led to fundamental changes in recommendations for the diagnostic approach to patients ...

Erythrocytosis and Wilms' Tumour

Scandinavian Journal of Haematology, 1978
A Wilms' tumour was diagnosed in an 18‐year‐old male patient with erythrocytosis. After radical excision of the tumour and postoperative irradiation and chemotherapy, the erythrocytosis disappeared and did not recur during a 2‐year observation period. The levels of erythropoiesis‐stimulating activity in serum and in the renal mass suggest the tumour as

The HIF Pathway and Erythrocytosis

Annual Review of Pathology: Mechanisms of Disease, 2011
Because of the central role that red blood cells play in the delivery of oxygen to tissues of the body, red blood cell mass must be controlled at precise levels. The glycoprotein hormone erythropoietin (EPO) regulates red blood cell mass. EPO transcription, in turn, is regulated by a distinctive oxygen-sensing mechanism.

Primary Familial Erythrocytosis

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1967
PRIMARY erythrocytosis or "benign familial polycythemia" is characterized by an increase in the hemoglobin concentration and the red blood cell count (RBC) due to an increase in total circulating red cell mass. The disease occurs in a familial pattern, is seen primarily in children, and follows a relatively benign course.

Erythropoiesis in Familial Erythrocytosis

New England Journal of Medicine, 1977
We found primary erythrocytosis in two male siblings with hematologically normal parents. To clarify the abnormalities in erythropoiesis, we studied erythropoietin production in the older sibling as well as in vivo and in vitro responses of bone marrow to various stimuli.

Bartter's syndrome and erythrocytosis

The American Journal of Medicine, 1973
Abstract We describe a patient, known since 1960, with Bartter's syndrome and erythrocytosis. The diagnosis was made on the basis of hypokalemic alkalosis, hyperplasia of the juxtaglomerular apparatus, resistance to the presser effect of angiotensin, extremely high plasma renin activity and normal blood pressure.

Smoking as a Cause of Erythrocytosis

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1975
Five smokers had erythrocyte masses sufficiently larger than normal to pose a problem in the differential diagnosis of polycythemia. Evaluation excluded lung disease, shunt physiology, hemoglobin with increased oxygen affinity, erythropoietin-producing tumor, renal disease, or polycythemia rubra vera as the primary cause of erythrocytosis in these ...
