What is it?
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are a group of disorders caused by abnormal growth and production of blood cells in the bone marrow, leading to an overproduction of one or more types of blood cells (e.g., red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets).

Unexplained weight loss
Excessive sweating(especially at night)
Splenomegaly(enlarged spleen)
Bone pain
Increased risk of clotting or bleeding

Leukemia
Aplastic anemia
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)
What are the aggravating factors?
Genetic mutations: Many MPNs are linked to specific genetic mutations like JAK2, CALR, and MPL.
Age: MPNs are more common in older adults.
What types of food are helpful?
Low-fat, high-fiber foods: To help prevent complications like cardiovascular disease.
Vitamin B12 and folate: Important for healthy blood cell production.
Avoid iron supplements: Excess iron can contribute to complications in MPNs.

Phlebotomy: In polycythemia vera, blood is removed to decrease red blood cell count.
Targeted therapy: Drugs like ruxolitinib (JAK2 inhibitors) for certain types of MPNs.
Bone marrow transplant: In severe cases, a stem cell or bone marrow transplant may be necessary.
