[|Human|] My endochrinologist has diagnosed me with polycythemia vera. He has ruled out that the raise in my hemocrit and red blood cells is not being caused my my underlying thyroid problem. I am not on any medication as my thyroid has stabilised at a level that is now at the low end of the normal range. My endocrinologist says that he would like to refer me to a hematologist. Can my polycythemia vera be treated by my endocrinologist, or must I go to see this other specialist? Thanks.
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have polycythemia Vera. You should go for JAK 2 mutation study and bone marrow examination.  If you have polycythemia Vera then you should consult hematologist. Phlebotomy is the simple treatment to control your hematocrit. You should also take HY Chat Doctor.
