Polycythemia Vera is the clonal expansion of red cells (primarily), white cells and platelets. Since PCV is a myeloproliferative disorder of unknown etiology, FDA guidelines require permanent deferral from volunteer blood donation. Patients with PCV may, however, donated blood for their own use (autologous donation).
Polycythemia vera-- An excess number of red blood cells in the blood.
Polycythemia Vera is not hereditary Polycythemia Vera (PV) a rare and serious, blood disorder that can be deadly if not diagnosed and treated properly. Polycythemia Vera (PV) or Primary Polycythemia is a blood disorder in which bone marrow makes too many red blood cells. The symptoms of Polycythemia Vera are not visible for many years and it develops very slowly. Lots of people find out about their PV from blood tests done for other reasons.

Polycythemia Vera (PV) is a rare blood disorder in which the number of red blood cells increases in the body. This increase of blood cell have many reasons, it could be due to a primary process in the bone marrow also known as Myeloproliferative Syndrome, or it may be due to low Oxygen levels or, rarely, a malignancy. Polycythemia Poly is classified into two major groups. * Polycythemia Vera - Primary Polycythemia * Non Vera + Secondary Polycythemia + Relative Polycythemia
Phlebotomy for polycythemia vera removes enough blood to keep the patient's hematocrit (proportion of red blood cells) below 45%.
The treatment for polycythemia Vera are prescribing drugs that decreases the production of blood cells, taking aspirin, and drawing blood on a regular basis. Polycythemia Vera is a form of blood cancer in which the bone marrow produces an excess of blood cells.
Polycythemia Vera is a mutation in our bone marrow which affects our blood cell production. The blood cells in our body come in three types: the carriers, our red blood cells, the fighters, our white blood cells, and the healers, platelets, which are what creates the clots. Polycythemia Vera causes our bone marrow to create more of one of the types of blood cells.
Overproduction of WBCs (white blood cells)
Cancer of the blood, Cancer of the bone marrow
Secondary hypersplenism results from another disease such as chronic malaria, rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculosis, or polycythemia vera, a blood disorder.
Because in it there is hyperplasia of bone marrow hence there is increase in every blood cell precursor, so pancytosis.
I have read a lot about a disorder known as polycythemia vera. That is exactly what it sounds like. I am not a medical professional and I cannot relay medical diagnoses but you should suggest the problem to your doctor and ask to be tested for it.
