Myeloproliferative Disorders (4297 words)
Myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs) are characterized by the clonal proliferation of one or more hematopoietic cell lineages, predominantly in the bone marrow but sometimes in the liver and spleen as well.
The chronic myeloproliferative disorders are polycythemia vera (PV), myelofibrosis (MF), essential thrombocythemia (ET), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML).
PV is a clonal disorder characterized by the overproduction of mature red blood cells in the bone marrow.
Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders Treatment - National Cancer Institute (505 words)
Myeloproliferative disorders are a group of diseases in which the bone marrow produces too many red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets.
Myeloproliferative disorders begin in the bone marrow and may cause a greater than normal number of stem cells to develop into one or more types of blood cells.
Chronic myeloproliferative disorders sometimes become acute leukemia, in which too many abnormal white blood cells are made.
