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.
