Seeing hematologist for possibl polycythemia-34 years old, female. Ive had abnormally high rbc counts (hgb,hct) for about 1 year. Jak2 negative, no tumors (had cat scan), but now I have a large bruise behind my right knee that looks black and follows the vein. Dont know if I should see doctor before appointment in October
Hello, Than to contact us. I would let you know that such type of thing often happens in the case of polycythemia. In my sincere opinion I suggest you to consult your doctor before your appointment in the October month. Many a time when RBC and He are abnormally high it arteriole may burst near the weak points, and the thing which you mentioned happens. Thnx
