Overview
Polycythemia is defined as increasing the hemoglobin (>16.5 g/dl in men or >16 g/dl in women) or hematocrit level (>49%in men or >48% in women).[1] This elevated level might be due to declining the plasma volume (relative or spurious polycythemia) or rising the number of red blood cells (true polycythemia). [2]
Causes
===Life Threatening Causes=== [3]
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
- critical dehydration owing to fluid loss such as severe diarrhea or vomiting, which can result in Spurious Polycythemia
- Severe cyanotic heart diseases with right-to-left shunts
- End-stage cancer related to EPO-secreting tumors such as hepatocellular carcinoma, parathyroid carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, or renal cell carcinoma
