-Abdominal ultrasound is an essential investigation in all patients with polycythemia unless the cause is apparent. Findings on an abdominal ultrasound are suggestive of polycythemia include:<ref name="pmid8949586">{{cite journal| author=Pearson TC, Messinezy M| title=Investigation of patients with polycythaemia. | journal=Postgrad Med J | year= 1996 | volume= 72 | issue= 851 | pages= 519-24 | pmid=8949586 | doi=10.1136/pgmj.72.851.519 | pmc=2398572 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=8949586  }} </ref>
+*There are no echocardiography findings associated with polycythemia.
-*Splenomegaly (minor criterion, while palpable splenomegaly is a major criterion for the diagnosis of primary polycythemia)
+*Abdominal ultrasound is an essential investigation in all patients with polycythemia unless the cause is obvious.
-*Simple renal cyst (renal arteriogram should be performed if there's any suggestion of pathology on abdominal ultrasound)
