Polycythemia vera is a chronic, slow-growing myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the overproduction of all blood cell lines, especially red blood cells, leading to increased blood viscosity and risk of thrombosis.
Rare, with an incidence of 0.7-2.6 cases per 100,000 people per year, typically affecting older adults (Tefferi et al., 2014, Blood).
