Secondary polycythaemia1
  • Secondary polycythaemia refers to elevated numbers of red blood cells not caused by bone marrow abnormalities. (vic.gov.au)
Primary polycythaemia1
  • Other names for this condition include primary polycythaemia and Vaquez' disease. (vic.gov.au)
Myelofibrosis2
  • Spinal cord compression from extramedullary haemopoiesis within the spinal epidural space is a rare complication of myelofibrosis and polycythaemia rubra vera (PRV). (bmj.com)

Myeloproliferative disorder2
  • [ 49 ] It most often occurs in patients with an underlying thrombotic diathesis, including in those who are pregnant or who have a tumor, a chronic inflammatory disease, a clotting disorder, an infection, or a myeloproliferative disorder , such as polycythemia vera or paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria . (medscape.com)
  • Because this is a myeloproliferative disorder, blood from donors with polycythemia vera is not considered appropriate for donation in most countries. (haseloto.com)
Tumors1
  • If a person has developed polycythemia as a result of liver cancer, kidney cancer, or other erythropoietin-secreting tumors, then symptoms include weight loss, abdominal fullness or pain and jaundice. (symptoma.com)
Mutation2
Chronic3
  • Other therapies can be directed toward treating the cause of polycythemia (for example, appropriate treatment of heart failure or chronic lung disease). (symptoma.com)
  • Because in chronic pulmonary disease both hypoxemia and polycythemia are simultaneously present, their individual effects on the pulmonary circulation have been difficult to define. (symptoma.com)
  • Chronic pulmonary disease (e.g., emphysema-abnormal distension of the lungs with air) may produce chronic hypoxemia (reduced oxygen tension in the blood) and lead to absolute polycythemia. (symptoma.com)
Thrombosis1
  • Thrombosis - the most common cause of death in people with polycythaemia vera. (vic.gov.au)

  • Secondary polycythemia Polycythemia vera A neoplastic disorder characterized by an insidious abnormal proliferation of myeloid stem cells dominated by a self-destructive expansion of red blood … The blood can also be donated to a blood bank, if the patient's blood is eligible. (haseloto.com)
  • However, the stem cells of a person with polycythaemia vera are abnormal and produce more blood cells than is necessary. (vic.gov.au)

Hematocrit3
  • Therapeutic phlebotomy (TP) is often requested for patients with testosterone-induced polycythemia to lower the hematocrit, at least as a temporary measure while adjusting the dose of medication. (haseloto.com)
  • The laboratory diagnosis of polycythemia depends on the demonstration of an elevation in hematocrit or in the hemoglobin content of the peripheral blood. (haseloto.com)
  • 2, 17 The reported incidence of polycythemia in those on TRT, defined as hemoglobin (Hb) greater than 18 g/dL or hematocrit greater than 54%, ranges from 2.5% to 40% in the literature. (haseloto.com)
Complications2

  • Le traitement consiste en l'administration d'une corticothérapie et souvent d'immunosuppresseurs, ainsi qu'en la prise en charge des facteurs de risque cardiovasculaire afin de prévenir les complications vasculaires à plus long terme. (bvsalud.org)
Donor1
  • This gradually leads to anemia in the donor and polycythemia in the recipient, in the absence of twin oligo-polyhydramnios sequence (TOPS). (haseloto.com)

  • These people may also have an increased likelihood of bleeding with surgery or The side effect I'm talking about is called Polycythemia - an excess of red blood cells. (haseloto.com)
  • Since polycythaemia vera is more common among people with Jewish ancestry, a genetic link could be involved. (vic.gov.au)
