Polycythemia Vera (PV) Support - Set of 3 (Members Only)

Educational Overview

What Is Polycythemia Vera?

Polycythemia Vera (PV) is a rare bone marrow disorder in which the body produces too many red blood cells (RBCs) without a normal trigger such as dehydration or oxygen deprivation.

It is considered a primary polycythemia, meaning the bone marrow itself is overactive.

This differs from:

• Relative polycythemia – caused by dehydration
  
  

• Secondary polycythemia – caused by chronic low oxygen (heart/lung disease, high altitude, tumors producing erythropoietin)
  
  

PV is uncommon in pets but reported in dogs and occasionally cats.

What happens in the Body?

Excess red blood cells cause:

• Thickened blood (increased viscosity)
  
  

• Slower circulation
  
  

• Reduced oxygen delivery despite high RBC count
  
  

• Increased clotting risk
  
  

• Strain on the heart
  
  

The packed cell volume (PCV) or hematocrit is often persistently elevated, sometimes above 65–70%.

Clinical Signs in Pets

Signs may develop gradually:

• Lethargy
  
  

• Weakness
  
  

• Neurological signs (staggering, seizures)
  
  

• Vision changes
  
  

• Red or dark mucous membranes
  
  

• Nosebleeds
  
  

• Increased thirst and urination
  
  

• Behavioral changes
  
  

Severe cases may present with collapse or stroke-like symptoms.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis requires ruling out more common causes of high RBCs.

Typical Diagnostic Findings:

• Persistently elevated PCV/hematocrit
  
  

• Normal hydration status
  
  

• Normal oxygen saturation
  
  

• Low or normal erythropoietin levels
  
  

• Bone marrow evaluation (in some cases)
  
  

Advanced imaging may be needed to rule out tumors or heart/lung disease.
