Incidence of Silent Thrombosis in Patients Younger Than 60 Years With Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: Single-Center Egyptian Study

ConclusionWe recommend routine screening for venous thrombosis in any case of MPN when diagnosed and screening for MPNs in any patient with venous thrombosis especially of the portal vein or atypical sites. If MPN patients present with increasing pruritus or abdominal pain, they also should be screened for venous thrombosis. Further research on a large scale in MPN age groups younger than 60 years regarding pathogenesis of thrombosis is highly recommended.
