Diagnosing Polycythemia Vera

Journal of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, 1999
Although no cure exists for PV, treatment can prolong lives and enhance the quality-of-life for patients affected by this condition (Talarico, 1998). The insidious onset may make diagnosis difficult, but PV should be suspected when any patient presents with an elevated hematocrit.

The treatment of polycythemia vera

Journal of Chronic Diseases, 1957
p” LYCYTHEMIA vera is a chronic disease of unknown etiology, the chief clinical manifestations of which are headaches, fatigability, dizziness, pruritus, splenomegaly, plethora, cyanosis, and systolic hypertension. Elevations of the erythrocyte level, the hemoglobin concentration, and the hematocrit value constitute the most consistent laboratory ...

Polycythemia vera

Disease-a-Month, 1992
Polycythemia vera (PV) is one of the myeloproliferative diseases, and, as such, is an example of clonal hematopoiesis. The progeny of a single, abnormal, hematopoietic stem cell gain a growth advantage over their normal counterparts resulting in overproduction of red cells generally accompanied by overproduction of granulocytes and platelets as well ...

Polycythemia Vera in a Cat

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1970
SUMMARY Clinical, laboratory, and pathologic findings in a case of polycythemia vera in a cat were recorded. Hematologic findings indicated marked polycythemia in the absence of a secondary cause. The red cell mass as measured directly by the 51Cr technique was markedly increased, whereas the plasma volume was normal.

POLYCYTHEMIA VERA AND GLOMERULONEPHRITIS

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Medicine, 1983
Abstract: Six patients with polycythemia vera and proteinuria are described. Three patients had histologically defined glomerulonephritis. It is proposed that there is an association between polycythemia vera and the development of glomerulonephritis. Possible pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed.

Apoptosis and polycythemia vera

Current Opinion in Hematology, 1999
Polycythemia vera is an acquired clonal myeloproliferative disorder characterized by increased numbers of erythroid cells, often with a concomitant rise in neutrophils and/or megakaryocytes. Normally, erythropoietin is essential for the survival and proliferation of erythroid progenitors; however in polycythemia vera the erythroid progenitor cells can ...

The Hypercoagulability of Polycythemia Vera

Hospital Practice, 1993
Thrombosis is the most common cause of death in patients with this myeloproliferative syndrome. Phlebotomy, hydroxyurea, and antiplatelet agents are the mainstays of therapy but may not stave off a lethal embolism.

Polycythemia Vera: A Review

Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing, 2003
Polycythemia vera (PV) is a clonal stem cell disorder characterized by increased erythrocyte production. Its etiology is not fully understood, and hemorrhage, thrombosis, and hyperviscosity may occur at any time during the course of this disorder. Treatment depends on the most affected cell type, duration and severity of the condition, and patient age.

Polycythemia Vera in Dogs

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1974
SUMMARY The historical and laboratory findings in 5 published reports and 3 additional cases of polycythemia vera in the dog were reviewed. The consistent abnormal findings included increased packed cell volume (pcv), hemoglobin concentration, red blood cell (rbc) count, rbc mass, and total blood volume.
