This Nov I I Was Diagnosed W/ ET And Have Read That ET Can Be Misdiagnosed And Could Be Early/prefibrotic Myelofibrosis (MF), How Do I Know?
Dear Renee,
I also have ET and I asked the same question.
The only way to distinguish between ET and PMF is, according to my hematologist, a bone marrow biopsy.
There are some studies on how to distinguish between the two, but it seems to not be straightforward:

I also found this study that tries to distinguish between the two conditions via different criteria:

Many hugs of support,
Tatiana
