Polycythemia vera and metabolic syndrome: is the relationship between the two diseases more than we think?

Key Points

The study investigates the relationship between polycythemia vera (PV) and metabolic syndrome (MS) with a focus on oxidative stress.
Evaluated oxidative stress levels in patients with concomitant PV and MS.
Conducted clinical assessments to analyze the relationship between the two conditions.
Oxidative stress was significantly elevated in patients with both PV and MS.
The findings support a novel pathophysiological connection between these two diseases.

Abstract

Our findings demonstrate that oxidative stress is markedly elevated in patients with concomitant PV and MS, supporting a pathophysiological link between the two conditions. These results underscore the importance of considering oxidative stress in the clinical evaluation of PV patients with metabolic syndrome.
