Twin anemia-polycythemia sequence (TAPS) is an atypical form of twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) that presents as a large intertwin hemoglobin difference with one twin developing anemia and the other developing polycythemia, without oligohydramnios-polyhydramnios sequence (Lopriore et al.,

Chronic inborn erythrocytosis leads to cardiac dysfunction and premature death in mice overexpressing erythropoietin.

Only registered users can translate articles

The most common cause of an increase of the hematocrit is secondary to elevated erythropoietin levels. Erythrocytosis is assumed to cause higher blood viscosity that could put the cardiovascular system at hemodynamic and rheological risks. Secondary erythrocytosis results from tissue hypoxia, and

We describe the course and likely pathophysiology of impending anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) and retinal vein occlusion in a 56-year-old man with polycythemia vera managed with interferon alpha for 2 years. Our patient presented with decreased vision, scintillating scotomata, and

Post-transplant erythrocytosis-related maculopathy: successful management of hyperviscosity with phlebotomy.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To report clinical features in a case of hyperviscosity retinopathy following post-renal transplant erythrocytosis (PTE) and its outcome after phlebotomy. METHODS Fundus fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were carried out for a 29-year-old renal allograft

Genetic adaptation to extreme hypoxia: study of high-altitude pulmonary edema in a three-generation Han Chinese family.

Only registered users can translate articles

Organismal response to hypoxia is essential for critical regulation of erythropoiesis, other physiological functions, and survival. There is evidence of individual variation in response to hypoxia as some but not all of the affected individuals develop polycythemia, and or pulmonary and cerebral

Twin anemia-polycythemia sequence in monochorionic twins: implications for diagnosis and treatment.

Only registered users can translate articles

Twin anemia-polycythemia sequence (TAPS) is a recently described complication of monochorionic placentation characterized by discordance in hemoglobin (Hgb) levels in the absence of amniotic fluid abnormality characteristic of classical twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). The placental
