A member asked:
Is an ankle brachial index test accurate enough for someone with polycythemia vera?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: An ABI, tests arterial blood flow into the legs by comparing to the flow in the arms. The normal ratio is one. This test would not be anticipated to be different in someone with polycythemia Vera.
