I would like info on EPO value and how that relates to ET and JAk 2. Can EPO value fluctuate? What are the markers for an EPO test? What treatment is recommended? What do I look at in a CBC test. ?

@damari, you may find some answers to your questions regarding erythropoietin levels and essential thrombocythemia in this paper:
- Serum erythropoietin levels in essential thrombocythemia: phenotypic and prognostic correlates https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6242882/
And this from Mayo Clinic Labs:
- Test ID: EPO Erythropoietin, Serum: https://www.mayocliniclabs.com/test-catalog/Clinical+and+Interpretive/80173
Values differ from person to person. Have you talked with a hematologist about the values in your CBC results?

Actually my Dr just ordered the EPO bloodwork for me. I have MDS/MPN-RS-T with jak2 mutation. My result was 19. I don't go back to dr for a week so unsure of an explanation. I looked it up and believe it has something to do with anemia, and helps to produce red blood cells and identifies problems. Best wishes.
