This case describes a patient who exhibited long-standing macrocytosis (elevated MCV) that contributed to elevated hemoglobin and hematocrit levels thus mimicking a diagnosis of polycythemia vera.
The case demonstrates that discounting the MCV effect on hemoglobin/hematocrit levels can lead to potential errors in interpretation of blood tests and misdiagnosis.
该病例描述了一名患者,该患者表现出长期的大红细胞增多症(MCV升高),导致血红蛋白和血细胞比容水平升高,从而模仿真性红细胞增多症的诊断。
该病例表明,降低MCV对血红蛋白/血细胞比容水平的影响可能会导致解释血液检查和误诊的潜在错误。
