Polycythemia Vera (PV) - Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN) - Erythrocytosis - Hematology.

JAK 2 kinase mutation is present in more than 90% of patients.
Itching after hot showers 🚿 or baths 🛁 is a common complaint (probably due to histamine release).
Splenomegaly and gouty arthritis may be present as well.
Symptoms of hyperviscosity syndrome are common.
