Clinical practice guidelines: diagnosis and management chronic myeloproliferative disorders. Manual. Health Technology Assessment Unit, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. (2004)
Abstract
Myeloproliferative disorders (MPD) are chronic diseases caused by clonal proliferation of bone marrow stem cells leading to excess production of one or more haemopoietic lineages. The current classification of the MPD includes the following:
Polycythaemia rubra vera (PRV)
Essential thrombocythaemia (ET)
Myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM)
Unclassified
These four disorders are considered separate from chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) and the myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with variable propensity to evolve into acute leukaemia. PRV and ET are associated with an increased risk of thrombosis.
