Secondary polycythemia in which the production of erythropoietin increases appropriately is called physiologic polycythemia. Conditions which may result in physiologic polycythemia include: Altitude related – Polycythemia can be a normal adaptation to living at high altitudes (see altitude sickness ). [ 9 ]
The most common therapies for secondary polycythemia are phlebotomies [9] and, for paraganglioma and/or somatostatinoma in this cohort of patients, surgery accompanied by antihypertensive medication. [1] HIF-2α inhibitor belzutifan led to substantial improvement of symptoms in a patient with Pacak–Zhuang syndrome. [10]
In oncology, polycythemia vera (PV) is an uncommon myeloproliferative neoplasm in which the bone marrow makes too many red blood cells. [1] The majority of cases [ 2 ] are caused by mutations in the JAK2 gene, most commonly resulting in a single amino acid change in its protein product from valine to phenylalanine at position 617.
polycythemia ruba vera is secondary polycythemia and has an underlying cause such as sleep apnea copd or anything that causes a rise in epo and is treatable by treating the underlying cause. polycythemia vera known as primary polycythemia has no secondary causes that can be found your oxygen levels are normal and you epo is normal or low.

High platelet counts can occur in patients with polycythemia vera (high red blood cell counts), and is an additional risk factor for complications. [citation needed] A very small number of people report symptoms of erythromelalgia, a burning sensation and redness of the extremities that resolves with cooling, or aspirin or both. [3]
Myomatous erythrocytosis syndrome (MES) is an uncommon gynecological disorder associated with isolated polycythemia and uterine fibroids.The primary feature of myomatous erythrocytosis syndrome is that hemoglobin goes back to its baseline level following the removal of the myoma.
Polycythemia vera (increase in the number of cells in general) Erythrocytosis (increase in the number of red blood cells) Leukocytosis (increase in the number of white blood cells) Thrombocytosis (increase in the number of platelets) Myeloproliferative disorder; Transient myeloproliferative disease; Coagulopathies (disorders of bleeding and ...
