Why is it important?
Prognostic evaluations and management of congenital erythrocytosis patients should be personalized. The benefit-risk ratio of each therapeutic strategy should be evaluated according to different causes.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure. It is hoped that data on such patients could be entered into international databases to accumulate more information on long-term outcomes. This article also leads to rare hereditary red cell disease groups contacting me and ultimately to a greater involvement in rare disease research.
