question: My endochrinologist has diagnosed me with polycythemia vera. He has ruled out that the raise in my hemocrit and red blood cells is not being caused my my underlying thyroid problem. I am not on any medication as my thyroid has stabilised at a level that is now at the low end of the normal range. My endocrinologist says that he would like to refer me to a hematologist. Can my polycythemia vera be treated by my endocrinologist, or must I go to see this other specialist? Thanks.
