Detailed explanation-1: -Polycythaemia, also known as erythrocytosis, means having a high concentration of red blood cells in your blood. This makes the blood thicker and less able to travel through blood vessels and organs. Many of the symptoms of polycythaemia are caused by this sluggish flow of blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -A high red blood cell count can be a sign of: Dehydration. Heart disease. Polycythemia vera, a bone marrow disease that causes too many red blood cells to be made.
Detailed explanation-3: -If you have a high red blood cell count, then you have something called erythrocytosis. This makes your blood thicker than it should be, and it could increase your risk for blood clots.
Detailed explanation-4: -Polycythemia vera occurs when a mutation in a gene causes a problem with blood cell production. Normally, your body regulates the number of each of the three types of blood cells you have-red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
Detailed explanation-5: -Polycythemia vera is a rare blood disorder in which there is an increase in all blood cells, particularly red blood cells. The increase in blood cells makes your blood thicker. This can lead to strokes or tissue and organ damage.
