The effect of this treatment was studied in 3 patients with polycythemia vera having hematocrits of 70-80% and red cell counts of 6-8 x 10/sup 6/. Plasma volume was also elevated and the red cell volume was decreased to 80-5 mu m/sup 3/ from a normal mean of 87. After a single injection of 3-10 mc inorganic P/sup 32/O/sub 4/, subjective symptoms improved as well as the hematologic values. Hematocrit, hemoglobin, and counts of erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes fell. Blood volume and viscosity also declined. (H.H.D.)
