Polycythemia Vera with High Erythropoietin Level: Case Report

Journal Title: International Journal of Blood Research and Disorders - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1

Abstract

Polycythemia Vera (PV) is a myeloproliferative disorder of bone marrow stem cells characterized by erythrocytosis. Elevated erythropoietin level strongly indicates secondary erythrocytosis and excludes PV diagnosis. However, patients with PV who co-present with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) have been documented with elevated serum erythropoietin levels provided that JAK2 mutation is positive.
