Yes, you are right, PV is classed as an MPN.

Take a look at the MPN Voice website. I have attached a link from the site about MPNs.

hello Shadowperson, yes PV (polycythaemia vera) is indeed a MPN, as per the advice from mhos61 I would advise that you have a look at our website mpnvoice.org.uk, there is a lot of information on there about the 3 MPNs, which include ET (essential thrombocythaemia) and MF (myelofibrosis).

This page will explain more about PV mpnvoice.org.uk/about-mpns/...

best wishes, Maz
