Detailed explanation-1: -Often, the first test used to diagnose PV is a CBC. The CBC measures many parts of your blood. This test checks your hemoglobin (HEE-muh-glow-bin) and hematocrit (hee-MAT-oh-crit) levels. Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein that helps red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
