Diagnostic Performance of Erythropoietin Levels in Polycythemia Vera: Experience at a Comprehensive Cancer Center

Daniel Davila-Gonzalez et al.

Summary: In a retrospective study on erythrocytosis, the use of isolated erythropoietin levels was found to be unreliable for screening causes, while JAK2 gene mutation status was a more reliable diagnostic method for polycythemia vera.

Polycythemia vera: historical oversights, diagnostic details, and therapeutic views

Ayalew Tefferi et al.

Summary: Polycythemia vera (PV) is a relatively slow-growing myeloproliferative disorder with a long median survival, but it can be complicated by thrombotic, fibrotic, or leukemic events. Current treatment strategies focus on preventing thrombotic complications rather than prolonging survival or reducing the risk of leukemic or fibrotic progression. Cytoreductive therapy is recommended for high-risk or symptomatic low-risk disease.

JAK2 unmutated erythrocytosis: current diagnostic approach and therapeutic views

Naseema Gangat et al.

Summary: JAK2 unmutated or non-PV erythrocytosis includes hereditary and acquired conditions, which require a systematic diagnostic approach. Hereditary erythrocytosis necessitates family history documentation and laboratory screening, while acquired erythrocytosis is often due to hypoxia. Management should avoid cytoreductive therapy and phlebotomy should be based on symptom control rather than Hct threshold.

Genetic Background of Congenital Erythrocytosis

Mary Frances McMullin

Summary: Erythrocytosis can be primary or secondary, congenital or acquired, with most cases occurring in young patients or those with a family history. Clinical evaluation and management of congenital erythrocytosis are challenging, but venesection and low dose aspirin may be considered for treatment.
