Overview

Polycythemia vera is a subtype of myeloproliferative neoplasm. Myeloproliferative neoplasm may be classified according to the World Health Organization into eight subtypes: chronic myelogenous leukemia, chronic neutrophilic leukemia, polycythemia vera, primary myelofibrosis, essential thrombocythemia, chronic eosinophilic leukemia, mastocytosis, and myeloproliferative neoplasms, unclassifiable.[1]

Classification

Classification of myeloproliferative neoplasms

Polycythemia vera is a subtype of myeloproliferative neoplasm. Myeloproliferative neoplasm may be classified according to the World Health Organization into eight subtypes:[1][2]

  • Myeloproliferative neoplasms, unclassifiable

There are no subcategories within polycythemia vera.


Classification of polycythemia

Polycythemia vera is a subcategory of polycythemia in general. Classification of polycythemia in general includes primary polycythemia and secondary polycythemia. Secondary polycythemia is due to chronic hypoxia which results in compensatory increase in erythrocyte production. Secondary polycythemia is therefore characterized by a reactive increase in erythrocyte production, rather than clonal proliferation of erythrocytes.

  • Primary polycythemia (polycythemia vera)
  • Secondary polycythemia
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  • Interstitial lung disease
  • Smoking
  • Obstructive sleep apnea
  • High altitude residence
  • Erythropoietin-secreting tumors
  • Renal cell carcinoma
  • Hepatocellular carcinoma
