	Polycythemia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Polycythemia is a condition in which there is a net increase in the total circulating erythrocyte (red blood cell) mass of the body.
		In primary polycythemia there may be 8 to 9 million and occasionally 11 million erythrocytes per cubic millimeter of blood, and the hematocrit may be as high as 70 to 80%.
		Relative polycythemia is an apparent rise of the erythrocyte level in the blood; however, the underlying cause is reduced blood plasma.

		Polycythemia vera begins with an acquired, abnormal change to a single hemopoietic (blood-forming) stem cell in the marrow, where blood cells are made.
		Polycythemia vera is called a clonal disorder because it begins with a change to the DNA in a single cell: all the cells that will dominate blood cell production are the offspring of the one mutant cell.
		Polycythemia vera is a chronic disease; it is not curable.

	Diagnose-Me: Condition: Polycythemia Vera
		The excessive numbers of red blood cells produced in polycythemia increases the volume of blood and makes it thicker so that it flows less easily through small blood vessels.
		The excess of red blood cells may be associated with other complications, including stomach ulcers, kidney stones or clotting in veins and arteries, which can cause heart attacks or strokes and can block blood flow to the arms and legs.
		Rarely, polycythemia vera progresses to leukemia; certain treatments increase this likelihood.

		Background: Polycythemia vera (PV) is a stem cell disorder characterized as a panhyperplastic, malignant, and neoplastic marrow disorder.
		Polycythemia is characterized by increased cell counts in all cell lines in the myeloid series (ie, red blood cells, white blood cells [preferentially granulocytes], and platelets).
		This distinguishes polycythemia from secondary causes of polycythemia in which the serum Epo level is generally within the reference range or is elevated.

		Dehydration complicates polycythemia by contracting the volume of blood and thereby secondarily elevating the red blood cell level that can be elevated in polycythemia to begin with.
		Sometimes primary polycythemia can cause more problems with the bone marrow (where the blood is made in the body) and an acute leukemia can arise.
