| Dr Alessandro Vannucchi will present the promising results of a Phase III trial for polycythemia vera patients. |
| The differential diagnoses included chronic hepatitis, idiopathic urticaria, uremia, polycythemia, thyroid disease, and malignancy, among others. |
| Other symptoms of polycythemia vera include headaches, transient neurologic or ocular complaints, and paresthesias. |
| Lastly, polycythemia can develop in the presence of certain types of tumours and as the result of the action of adrenocortical secretions. |
| In the majority of cases, treatment will completely control or permanently correct polycythemia conditions. |
