Myelofibrosis is associated with significantly reduced quality of life and shortened survival. As the disease progresses, the body slows production of important blood cells and within one year of diagnosis the incidence of disease-related thrombocytopenia (very low blood platelet counts), severe anemia, and red blood cell transfusion requirements enhance significantly. Among other complications, most patients with myelofibrosis present with enlarged spleens (splenomegaly) in addition to many other potentially devastating physical symptoms such as: abdominal discomfort, bone pain, feeling full after eating little, severe itching, night sweats, and tiredness.
