Polycythemia :
❤️It’s a blood cancer that begins in the marrow of bones
❤️marrow makes too many red blood cells, which causes your blood to get too thick.
That can make you more likely to have blood clots, a stroke, or a heart attack.
❤️Most people with polycythemia vera have too many red blood cells. But the disease may also cause you to have too many white blood cells and platelets.
❤️This disease develops very slowly, usually over many years. Although it can be life-threatening if you don't get any treatment
🌀////Causes :
💎a gene called JAK2 that doesn’t work right. This gene is supposed to make sure your bone marrow doesn't make too many blood cells.
🌀////Symptoms :
💎At first, you may not notice any problems. When you do start having symptoms, you may have:
🔹-Headaches
🔹-Double vision or seeing dark or blind spots that come and go
🔹-Itching all over your body, especially after you've been in warm or hot water
🔹-Sweating, especially at night
🔹-Reddened face that looks like sunburn or blushing
🔹-Weakness
🔹-Dizziness
🔹-Weight loss
🔹-Shortness of breath
🔹-Tingling or burning in your hands or feet
🔹-Painful swelling of a joint
🌿////DX:
❗️-Complete blood count (CBC)
❗️-Blood smear
❗️-EPO level. This test measures how much of the hormone EPO you have in your blood. EPO tells your bone marrow to make blood cells. People who have polycythemia vera have very low levels of it.
💟////Treatment :
If you do need treatment, the goal is to lower the number of red blood cells and prevent blood clots and other complications. Your options include:
🌟1-Phlebotomy :
removes blood from your vein. It's a lot like donating blood. The goal is to lower the number of your blood cells.
🌟2-Low-dose aspirin :
keeps platelets from sticking together. That makes you less likely to get blood clots, which can cause heart attacks or strokes.
🌟3- Medicine to lower blood cells:
#hydroxyurea a pill that lowers your red blood count and relieves symptoms.
#interferon_alfa, helps the immune system cut back on making blood cells.
#ruxolitinib is approved for use in people who aren’t helped by hydroxyurea or can’t handle its side effects.
#antihistamines:If you have a lot of itching that doesn't go away,
