Polycythemia Vera Forecast in 27 Major Markets 201

Dublin, Jan. 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Polycythemia Vera Forecast in 27 Major Markets 2016-2026" report to their offering. Polycythemia Vera (PV), also known as erythraemia, erythrocytosis, erythrocytosis megalosplenica, Osler disease, primary polycythemia, polycythemia rubra vera or Vaquez disease, is the over production of red blood cells as a result of acquired mutations in an early blood-forming cell. Since these early blood-forming cells have the capability to form not only red cells, but also white cells and platelets, any combination of these cell lines may be affected. This condition develops slowly and may remain undetected for many years. This report provides the current prevalent population for Polycythemia Vera across 27 Major Markets (USA, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, Japan, Brazil, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, India, Ireland, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey) split by gender and 5-year age cohort. Along with the current prevalence, the report also contains a disease overview of the risk factors, disease diagnosis and prognosis along with specific variations by geography and ethnicity. Providing a value-added level of insight from the analysis team, several of the main symptoms and co-morbidities of Polycythemia Vera have been quantified and presented alongside the overall prevalence figures. These sub-populations within the main disease are also included at a country level across the 10-year forecast snapshot.
