-'''Myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia''', also known as '''agnogenic myeloid metaplasia''', '''chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis''', and '''primary myelofibrosis''',<ref>Older terms include "myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia" and "agnogenic myeloid metaplasia". The [[World Health Organization]] utilizes the name "chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis", while the International Working Group on Myelofibrosis Research and Treatment calls the disease "primary myelofibrosis".</ref> was first described in 1879 and is currently classified as a [[myeloproliferative disease]] caused by the growth and proliferation of an abnormal [[bone marrow]] stem cell, resulting in the [[fibrosis|replacement of the bone marrow with fibrous connective tissue]]. An eponym for the disease is Heuck-Assmann disease, or Assmann's Disease.
+==[[Myelofibrosis overview|Overview]]==
-==Pathophysiology==
+==[[Myelofibrosis historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
-The bone marrow is replaced by collagen fibrosis, impairing the patient's ability to generate new blood cells resulting in a progressive [[pancytopenia]]. It is usually reactive following other [[myeloproliferative disorders]], such as [[polycythemia rubra vera]] or [[essential thrombocytosis]]. Extramedullary hematopoeisis occurs as the haemopoetic cells migrate away from the bone marrow, to the liver and spleen. Patients often have [[hepatosplenomegaly]] and [[poikilocytosis]].
+==[[Myelofibrosis classification|Classification]]==
-In primary myelofibrosis, a progressive scarring ([[fibrosis]]) of the bone marrow occurs. As a result, blood forms in sites other than the bone marrow, such as the [[liver]] and [[spleen]]. This causes an enlargement of these organs. The cause and risk factors are unknown.  It commonly occurs in the spent phase of [[Polycythemia rubra vera]], possibly in response to the medication [[hydroxyurea]] poisoning the marrow.

-Genetic associations with [[JAK2]]<ref name="pmid15781101">{{cite journal |author=Baxter EJ, Scott LM, Campbell PJ, ''et al'' |title=Acquired mutation of the tyrosine kinase JAK2 in human myeloproliferative disorders |journal=Lancet |volume=365 |issue=9464 |pages=1054–61 |year=2005 |pmid=15781101 |doi=10.1016/S0140-6736(05)71142-9 |url=http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0140-6736(05)71142-9}}</ref> and [[Myeloproliferative leukemia virus oncogene|MPL]]<ref name="pmid16834459">{{cite journal |author=Pikman Y, Lee BH, Mercher T, ''et al'' |title=MPLW515L is a novel somatic activating mutation in myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia |journal=PLoS Med. |volume=3 |issue=7 |pages=e270 |year=2006 |month=July |pmid=16834459 |pmc=1502153 |doi=10.1371/journal.pmed.0030270 |url=http://medicine.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get-document&doi=10.1371/journal.pmed.0030270}}</ref> have been described.

+==[[Myelofibrosis differential diagnosis|Differentiating Myelofibrosis from other Diseases]]==
-*Abdominal fullness related to an [[splenomegaly|enlarged spleen]] (splenomegaly).
-*Bone pain
-*Bruising and easy bleeding due to inadequate numbers of [[platelets]]
-*Fatigue
-*Increased susceptibility to infection, such as [[pneumonia]] or [[diarrhea]]
-*Pallor and shortness of breath while doing physical work due to [[anemia]]
-==Diagnosis==
+==[[Myelofibrosis epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
-Diagnosis is based upon:
+==[[Myelofibrosis risk factors|Risk Factors]]==
-* [[Normochromic]] normocytic [[anaemia]]
+==[[Myelofibrosis screening|Screening]]==
-* Red cell [[poikilocytosis]] on blood film (tear-drop shaped RBCs)
-* JAK 2 mutation on Val 617 Phe locus in 50%
-* Raised levels of [[lactate dehydrogenase]]
-* Raised neutrophil alkaline phosphatase score
-* [[Bone marrow biopsy]] may show increased cellularity and fibrosis
-The patient with the myelofibrosis should be tested for [[Tuberculosis]] even if the patient doesn't manifest the symptoms of TB. There is strong evidence of myelofibrois improvement with the antituberculous treatment.

-The only known cure is allogeneic [[stem cell transplantation]], but this approach involves significant risks.<ref name="pmid15725078">{{cite journal |author=Cervantes F |title=Modern management of myelofibrosis |journal=Br.

-Other treatment options are largely supportive, and do not alter the course.<ref name="pmid18185525">{{cite journal |author=Kröger N, Mesa RA |title=Choosing between stem cell therapy and drugs in myelofibrosis |journal=Leukemia |volume=22 |issue=3 |pages=474–86 |year=2008 |month=March |pmid=18185525 |doi=10.1038/sj.leu.2405080 |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/sj.leu.2405080}}</ref> These options may include regular [[folic acid]], [[allopurinol]] or [[blood transfusion]]s. [[Dexamethasone]], alpha-[[interferon]] and [[hydroxycarbamide]] may play a role.
-[[Lenalidomide]] and [[Thalidomide]] may be used in its treatment, though they can cause [[gout]] and leave the patient susceptible to diseases such as [[pneumonia]].
-Frequent [[blood transfusions]] may also be required.
