Overview
Divided into primary and secondary causes based on underlying genetic mutations and other factors(refer to classification).
Causes
Common Causes
Common causes of polycythemia may include:
- Primary erythrocytosis[1][2]
- Secondary erythrocytosis
Congenital
- Erythropoietin receptor-mediated
- High oxygen affinity hemoglobin[3]
- Bisphosphoglycerate mutase deficiency[4]
- VHL(Von Hippel-Lindau) gene mutation (Chuvash erythrocytosis)[5][6][7]
- PHD2 mutations
- HIF-2 alpha mutations[8][9]
Acquired
- Hypoxia driven
- Central hypoxic process:
- Chronic Lung disease
- Right-to-left cardiopulmonary vascular shunts
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Smoker's erythrocytosis
- Hypoventilation syndromes including sleep apnea (high-altitude habitat)
- Central hypoxic process:
- Local renal hypoxia:
- Renal Artery Stenosis
- End-Stage Renal Disease
- Hydronephrosis
- Renal cysts (polycystic kidney disease)
- Postrenal transplant erythrocytosis
Pathologic EPO production:[10]
Exogenous EPO:
Idiopathic erythrocytosis [12][13] [14]
