Özet

Background: Polycythemia vera (PV) is a chronic myeloproliferative disease. Kidney involvement in PV is not a clinical manifestation. However, rarely, especially untreated, uncontrolled forms of PV may complicate ischemic and proliferative glomerular diseases with fibrosis. Description of the case: This paper reports a 53-year-old male patient treated for PV for two years. A gradual decrease in kidney function with proteinuria was observed. This is the first report of a controlled PV patient with a newly diagnosed advanced immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) entity from T & uuml;rkiye. Conclusion: In conclusion, repeat urinalysis in every patient should be performed for hematuria and proteinuria in order not to delay the diagnosis of kidney involvement. IgAN and PV's togetherness is rare, but the underlying mechanisms must be elucidated. HIPPOKRATIA 2025, 29 (1):35-38.
