MPN Lab Results: Feel More Confident Reading Your Labs
Watch On Demand
If you’re living with an MPN like polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, or myelofibrosis then your blood work plays a key role in both diagnosis and ongoing care. This program explains how lab results help guide treatment decisions, track disease changes, and manage symptoms or side effects over time.
Join Dr. Aaron Gerds of Cleveland Clinic and longtime MPN patient advocate Ruth Fein Revell as they explore how mutation testing for JAK2, CALR, and MPL can shape care, what trends to watch in your lab results, and how to have more confident conversations with your doctor.
Topics:
What CBC, CMP, and mutation testing reveal in MPNs
How doctors use blood work to monitor disease and guide treatment
Understanding JAK2, CALR, and MPL mutations
What allele burden means—and how it changes over time
When a bone marrow biopsy is needed (and when it might not be)
How to talk with your doctor about labs, results, and treatment options
