Polycythemia - Book Test at Low Cost

Polycythemia is a medical condition characterized by an abnormally high level of red blood cells in the blood. This can be caused by an overproduction of red blood cells by the bone marrow, which may be due to a genetic mutation or a secondary response to other medical conditions such as chronic hypoxia, or the use of certain medications.

Treatment for polycythemia depends on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. It may include periodic blood removal (phlebotomy) to decrease the number of red blood cells, medication to decrease the production of red blood cells or other medical interventions. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a healthcare professional are important for managing polycythemia and preventing complications.
