Polycythemia Vera is a hematopoietic stem cell dis- ease, characterized by sustained and excessive prolif- eration of erythrocytic, granurocytie and megakar- yocytic cells in the bone marrow resulting in pancy- tosis in peripheral blood. Patient with Polycytopenia Vera usually present with symptoms referable to an expanded blood volume. We experieneed a patient who presented with headache, dizziness, and syncopal attack coexistion with renal symptoms, as hematuria, proteinuria, and generalized edema. We confirmed this patient to Polycythemia Vera by Polycythemia Vera Study Group criteria and IgA Nephropathy by renal biopsy. No other reports have been seen in the literature on Polycythemia Vera associated with IgA Nephropathy. Recently, We experienced a Polycythe- mia Vera associated with IgA Nephropsthy and re- port this case with brief review of literature.
