Do you have any suggestions about living with polysemia vera blood disorder at a young age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More info needed: polycythemia ruba vera (PRV) is a myeloproliferative disorder. This means that the bone marrow (myeloid tissue) is involved with ↑ proliferation (growth) of cells. With PVR there is often an increase in red blood cell (RBC) production, which if too high can lead to complications of thrombosis (clots in the vascular system). Your CBC (complete blood count) results are essential. More info needed.
