Overview
People with polycythemia vera usually asymptomatic. Symptoms of polycythemia vera include headache, fatigue, and pruritis. The symptomatology is highly variable between patients. Some patients can present with a minimal symptom burden that does not result in any change in quality of life, and other patients can have severe symptom burden.
History and Symptoms
Symptoms of polycythemia vera are related to the consequences of excess red blood cells. These symptoms may include:
- Especially after exposure to warm water
- Due to histamine release or prostaglandin production
- Present in approximately 40% of patients
- Due to increased susceptibility to infection with H. pylori
