Although Patino-Alonso reported in a propensity-analysis similar values for SBP and DBP between MPN subjects (n = 57) and healthy counterparts (n = 114), they discovered that in MPNs there is an elevated risk of carotid artery injury (OR = 2.382, 1.066–5.323, p = 0.034) and an elevated albumin-to-creatinine ratio as compared to the control group, signaling that in these blood cancers there is a need to screen for target organ damage [35]. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and myeloproliferative disorder.
