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).
