[|Human|] I was diagnosed with polycythemia on friday by my regular doctor. I am supposed to let them know today if i want to see a hematologist or start donating blood.  My red blood cells, hemaglobin, and hematacrit. were all high and they did an iron work up and the iron was high but everthing else was okay.  Do you suggest I see the heamatologist or just start donating I am 31 57 and 220 lbs. High blood pressure started couple of months ago, tired all the time.
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have polycythemia Vera. But before taking treatment you should consult hematologist and confirm the diagnosis. JAK 2 mutation study and bone marrow examination should be done.  Then you should start treatment. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
