Hyperviscosity-Related Ischemic Stroke in an Adolescent With Unrepaired Tetralogy of Fallot: A Case Report From a Resource-Limited Setting. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. Chronic hypoxemia in uncorrected TOF causes compensatory erythrocytosis and hyperviscosity, predisposing to cerebrovascular complications. Stroke in this context is rare but clinically significant, especially in resource‐limited settings where access to imaging and

Autosomal Dominant Erythrocytosis Caused by Non-Renal Erythropoietin (EPO) Due to EPO c.-136 G>A Germline Mutation. [PDF]
A novel erythropoietin (EPO) promoter mutation (c.‐136 G>A) causes autosomal dominant erythrocytosis via non‐renal expression of EPO. ABSTRACT We previously reported a five‐generation kindred with autosomal dominant erythrocytosis associated with a novel germline promoter variant in the erythropoietin (EPO) gene (EPO c.‐136 G>A).

Detection of a Distinct Erythropoietin (EPO) Profile After Isoelectric Focusing in Patients With Familial Erythrocytosis. [PDF]
A basic EPO IEF profile was identified in patients with familial erythropoiesis linked to mutations in noncoding parts of EPO gene. Comparison of blood and urine EPO profiles from these patients differed from adult wild‐type EPO (WT) and from Eprex‐administered patients. Patients' EPO do not differ from WT EPO after analysis using SDS‐PAGE/SAR‐PAGE. It

Relationships Between Chemoreflex Responses, Sleep Quality, and Hematocrit in Andean Men and Women. [PDF]
Andean highlanders are challenged by chronic hypoxia and many exhibit elevated hematocrit (Hct) and blunted ventilation compared to other high-altitude populations.

Posttransplant erythrocytosis [PDF]
Posttransplant erythrocytosis (PTE) is defined as a persistently elevated hematocrit to a level greater than 51% after renal transplantation. It occurs in 10% to 15% of graft recipients and usually develops 8 to 24 months after engraftment. Spontaneous remission of established PTE is observed in one fourth of the patients within 2 years from onset ...

The genomic analysis brings a new piece to the molecular jigsaw of idiopathic erythrocytosis
Erythrocytosis is a clinical condition characterized by increased red cell mass, hemoglobin, and hematocrit values. A significant fraction of patients is described as having idiopathic erythrocytosis.

Background Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) drugs have never been associated with erythrocytosis. In Eritrea, however, several cases of incident erythrocytosis had been observed in the MDR-TB hospital.
