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

Overproduction of WBCs (white 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.

There is limited scientific evidence to support the use of aloe vera for treating autoimmune diseases. While some studies suggest that aloe vera may have anti-inflammatory properties that could potentially benefit individuals with autoimmune conditions, more research is needed to determine its effectiveness and safety for this purpose. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before using aloe vera or any other natural remedy for autoimmune diseases.
may indicate either a benign reaction to an infection, surgery, or certain medications; or a disease like polycythemia vera, in which the bone marrow produces too many platelets too quickly.
