Fig. 1 Diagnostic approach to “suspected polycythemia vera.” For PV-related features, see Table 1. Of note, hemoglobin (Hb) level is for male Caucasians. Hb value for female Caucasians is 17 gm/dL; for male African-Americans, 17.5 gm/dL; and for female African-Americans, 16.7 gm/dL. EEC = endogenous erythroid colony; EPO = erythropoietin; PV = polycythemia vera.
