Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polycythemia vera (PV) is a myeloproliferative disorder that typically produces a dramatic increase in all cell lines, including erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets. This leads to an increase in hematocrit, blood viscosity, and risk of thrombosis. The other myeloproliferative disorders, primary myelofibrosis (PMF), essential thrombocytosis (ET), and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), do not necessarily affect all cell lines equally.
