  Objectives: Thrombosis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with Philadelphia negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). There are many thrombosis risk stratifications used in this patient group taking into consideration the age, thrombosis history and cardiovascular factors (hypertension, hypercholesterinaemia, hyper-trigliceridaemia, thrombocytosis, smoking and diabetes mellitus). In this work we evaluated the possible role of iron deficiency in thrombotic events (TE) of the polycythaemia vera (PV) patients. Methods: We considered the low mean cell haemoglobin (MCH <28 pg) value as a parameter to assess the iron deficiency in the multicentre database (15 Hungarian haematology centres) of our HUMYPRON GROUP (Hungarian MPN Working Group). The MCH values, recorded at the time of diagnosis of 296 patients with polycythemia vera, were r.. Read More»
