When hemolysis masks polycythemia vera

Clin Case Rep. 2019 Jan 28;7(3):438-441. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1776. eCollection 2019 Mar.

Abstract

Although uncommon, clinicians should be aware that polycythemia vera may be masked due to hemolysis. The report of such associations could help them in clinical practice to establish an early and accurate diagnosis that may be challenging in atypical presentations of myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Keywords: hemolysis; masked polycythemia vera; panmyelosis.
