A member asked:
My blood test for jak2 was negative but blood counts are still rising would you recomend bone marrow biopsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Jak2 testing is supportive of certain myeloproliferative diagnsoses, but the clinical decision to pursue the bm biopsy will be driven by the extent and pace of rise and your symptoms.
