Presentation
A rationalisation of the 1350 boxes used throughout the book gives a simpler and clearer presentation of the various categories. [books.google.com]
The condition may present with cardiovascular problems such as myocardial or cerebral ischaemia. For this reason, it may be justifiable to venesect the patient. [babylon-software.com]
Cardiovascular
- Diastolic Hypertension
Our patient had four risk factors for Gaisbock's syndrome - hypertension, diuretic therapy, physical and emotional stress, and obesity; of these, hypertension (particularly diastolic hypertension) appears to be the most significant contributor to the [clinmedjournals.org]
Eyes
- Cotton Wool Spots
In the right eye an inferonasal peripapillary hyperfluorescence was related to a small cotton-wool spot. Results of physical examination were unremarkable and blood pressure was normal. The patient was a 50 pack-year cigarette smoker. [docslide.com.br]
Workup
However, it has never been shown that an exhaustive workup for malignancy is cost-effective or beneficial. [drsami.com]
A workup revealed no evidence of polycythemia rubra vera or a secondary cause of her polycythemia (her erythropoietin level was normal, she had no splenomegaly, and a test for JAK2 v617F mutation was negative). [clinmedjournals.org]
A patient’s travel history should be taken to determine the likelihood of high-altitude effect and thus possibly avoid having to conduct an extensive workup. [what-when-how.com]
See Presentation and Workup. To the extent that the increased RBCs alleviate tissue hypoxia, secondary polycythemia may in fact be beneficial. [emedicine.medscape.com]

What Is the Treatment for Secondary Polycythemia? Treatment of secondary polycythemia depends on its cause. Supplemental oxygen can be provided for individuals with chronic hypoxia. [emedicinehealth.com]
While its long-term effects remain to be evaluated, treatment with nondiuretic antihypertensive drugs may help reduce the incidence of these complications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

How Can I Prevent Polycythemia? Many causes of secondary polycythemia are not preventable. [emedicinehealth.com]
Blood disorders affect one or more parts of the blood and prevent your blood from doing its job. They can be acute or chronic. Many blood disorders are inherited. [icdlist.com]
Knowledge of the pathogenesis, genetics, and molecular biology of neuromuscular disorders is essential both in developing and applying new therapies and preventive measures, and in formulating genetic and prognostic advice. [books.google.de]
