In a prospective study of 33 adults with portal vein thrombosis unrelated to a liver tumor, we have assessed the prevalence of primary myeloproliferative disorders using conventional criteria and cultures of bone marrow progenitor cells. A primary myeloproliferative disorder was documented in 14 patients investigated at the time of recognition of portal vein thrombosis. Among these 14 patients, the main clue to the presence of the myeloproliferative disorder was (a) the observation of suggestive abnormalities of peripheral blood cell counts in 4 patients; (b) characteristic findings at bone marrow biopsy or determination of total red cell volume in 3 patients; and (c) formation of "spontaneous" erythroid colonies in cultures of bone marrow progenitor cells in erythropoietin-poor medium in 7 patients. In 2 other patients, agnogenic myeloid metaplasia with myelosclerosis of apparently recent onset developed 5 yr after recognition of portal vein thrombosis. In conclusion, primary myeloproliferative disorders--in a full-blown or latent form, or at an early stage--are a major cause of portal vein thrombosis.

D009196 Myeloproliferative Disorders Conditions which cause proliferation of hemopoietically active tissue or of tissue which has embryonic hemopoietic potential. They all involve dysregulation of multipotent MYELOID PROGENITOR CELLS, most often caused by a mutation in the JAK2 PROTEIN TYROSINE KINASE.

D001772 Blood Cell Count The number of LEUKOCYTES and ERYTHROCYTES per unit volume in a sample of venous BLOOD. A complete blood count (CBC) also includes measurement of the HEMOGLOBIN; HEMATOCRIT; and ERYTHROCYTE INDICES.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
