Polycythemia vera: 2024 update on diagnosis, risk‐stratification, and management
Polycythemia vera (PV) is a JAK2‐mutated myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by clonal erythrocytosis; other features include leukocytosis, thrombocytosis, splenomegaly, pruritus, constitutional symptoms, microcirculatory disturbances, and ...

Long-term outcomes of polycythemia vera patients treated with ropeginterferon Alfa-2b
TO THE EDITOR: Interferon alfa not only restores normal blood cell counts in patients with polycythemia vera (PV) but can diminish the mutant JAK2 V617F allele burden [1 – 3].

Prevalence and diagnostic performance of iron deficiency in polycythemia
Introduction Several observations have shown that patients with polycythemia have iron deficiency. Our objectives were to report the prevalence of iron deficiency and to evaluate the diagnostic performance of serum ferritin in polycythemia vera.Patients ...

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is a novel predictor of venous thrombosis in polycythemia vera
We investigated the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a predictor of thrombosis in polycythemia vera (PV). After a median follow-up of 2.51 years, of 1508 PV patients enrolled in the ECLAP study, 82 and 84 developed arterial and venous thrombosis ...

Genetic Background of Polycythemia Vera
Polycythemia vera belongs to myeloproliferative neoplasms, essentially by affecting the erythroblastic lineage. JAK2 alterations have emerged as major driver mutations triggering PV-phenotype with the V617F mutation detected in nearly 98% of cases.
