In the case of a patient with erythrocytosis and other signs of myeloproliferation, such as leukocytosis, thrombocytosis or splenomegaly, the diagnosis of polycythemia vera (PV) is likely, and I test serum erythropoietin and JAK2 mutations first.

Here are two cases which incidentally presented with splenomegaly and moderate leukocytosis, and were diagnosed as MPN-primary myelofibrosis (PMF) in prefibrotic phase and polycythemia vera (PV), respectively, using revised World Health Organization (WHO) 2008 criteria.

We report a case of pseudohyperkalemia in a patient with chronic renal failure and polycythemia vera without the finding of severe leukocytosis or thrombocytosis (white blood cell count 1.88 x 10(4)/microl and platelet count 37.9 x 10(4)/microl, respectively).
