Hydronephrosis-Induced Polycythemia with Low Erythropoietin Level: A Case Report and Literature Review
This case highlights the potential association between hydronephrosis and polycythemia, even with low erythropoietin levels. Renal abnormalities should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric patients with polycythemia, even in the absence of elevation of erythropoietin. Further research is needed to clarify this association and its pathophysiology.
