==Overview==
Polycythemia vera must be differentiated from other myeloproliferative neoplasms, such as [[chronic myelogenous leukemia]], [[essential thrombocythemia]], and [[primary myelofibrosis]]. Polycythemia vera must also be differentiated from secondary polycythemia, which is usually due to chronic hypoxia. Each of these conditions have different etiologies, symptoms, laboratory abnormalities, physical exam findings, and treatments.

Overview

Polycythemia vera must be differentiated from a variety of other conditions that might cause polycythemia. Polycythemia vera must also be differentiated from secondary polycythemia, which is usually due to chronic hypoxia. Each of these conditions has different etiologies, symptoms, laboratory abnormalities, physical exam findings, and treatments.

Differential Diagnosis of Polycythemia Vera

Polycythemia vera must be differentiated from a variety of other conditions that might cause polycythemia.[1][2][3]
