- Lesson on Erythrocytosis: Causes, Signs and Symptoms and Treatments. Erythrocytosis is a condition of increased red blood cell mass indicated by increases in hemoglobin and hematocrit. Erythrocytosis is either relative or absolute. Absolute Erythrocytosis is distinguished between primary and secondary causes, wherein primary causes includes Polycythemia Vera and secondary causes are due to compensatory increases in RBCs due to hypoxemia.

Thank you for your clear explanation of this condition.
Thank you for the information.. God bless you
Thank you so much very educational!! ❤️🙏🏾
Best video ever been trying for a couple weeks to figure out why my hematocrit test would be high......... now I'm just hoping I did temporary kidney overload through binge drinking and extra extra sugar coffee consumption
Great video, informative, audio perfect and clear. Easy to understand (though I'm an RN)
Brilliant lecture!
Many thanks.
Best explanation on UA-cam. Thank you
Thank you 😊
So interesting , thanks a lot v informative 👌👌
Thank you.
Pretty good video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you
Hi , nice video, do we give regular Aspirin 81mg for treatment of secondary erythrocytosis of all kinds or causes?
Super
a few years ago i was told by my dr my body was making alot of extra red blood cells my red blood count was abnormally high for a woman , ive been diagnosed also with an anuersym on the right illiac artery , today i was told i cant donate blood for 5 years due to an anibody in my red blood cells theyve found twice in my red blood cells the paper lifesouth sends out says theres no need to contact my dr concerning this issue , being an anuersym patient shouldnt this be discussed with reg dr and my anuersym dr ? am i panicking or am i right it all needs to be discussed
Can secondary causes intensify primary caused high red blood cells?
Igot this condition six month ago ,fatigue and lack of desire to socaliz or do anyhing requires mental stress and lack of concentration are big part of it symptom its genetic inherited in my family .hope who suffers it to get well soon .
@@eshaali5538 Interesting. My mom has this and has to get bled as she calls it ever so often. What I'm intrigued by however is your mention of the lungs as all my maternal family has died from some sort of pulmonary disease. My grandmother had 7 siblings and 2 remain, all suffering from nods in their lungs and so on.
@@misstuxbrandi get bled is kind of vicious cycle. The more u lack of blood, your body think u lack of it and produce more
@@fannyalbi9040 she has a disease that causes her blood to thicken. She has to do it or else she develops severe pain and lethargy. If you know something better I'm sure she'll be happy to hear. This is what her doctor has her do.
How do you deal with this ?
How do you treat this pls?
Wish there was an option for natural healing.
I was supposed to start TRT treatment and doctor won’t allow me because of this thick blood problem. Said I’ll have a stroke/heart attack. Didn’t offer any solution on how to fix it 🤷🏼♂️
Donate blood ,drink more Water ,Take aspirin .I have same issue.
Also take fish oil its a natural blood thiner
What's your hemoglobin levels?
Using cayenne pepper is a natural blood thinner also...
@travissingh6090 just going to say cayenne pepper
My issue is just a hematocrit test and no other lab work at this time
This is a medicine class
My hemoglobin count is 21'5 they won't replace my hip because they see my hemoglobin is too high. I have tried everything they said to lower but nothing works! I really would like to get my hip replaced.
Sorry , you post : Audeo is very compressed ?
The slides were slow enough that I could usually take pictures only had to stop a couple times to rewind from my own photo notes
How can I have this and anemia at the same time
Is this dangerous?

In my case, moderate Erythrocytosis was caused by hyper active thyroid due to a toxic adenoma. It returned to normal a month after receiving radio frequency ablation.
We're you ever given medication for overactive thyroid. I've been diagnosed with overactive thyroid and my rbc count has been elevated. Even though my overall thyroid has been normal since I starting on medication.
@@heardsbbq16
Only beta blockers. After the ablation my thyroid function has become under active but layer returned to normal.
did your doctor do it for you on radio frequency ablation? or on your request?
Hi Sir. My hemoglobin is 17.2 and my age is 30. Can you please guide me how can I decrease this?
Mine is about identical to yours and it's due to testosterone replacement therapy. The treatment which is free and easy is to just donate blood.
@@michaelh7527 No it's due to heart failure
@@Skybluewindcool Not true
@@michaelh7527 Its true do your heart function test.

Just got labs back. High Red, white, platelets, hemoglobin, all of it. Normally I'm anemic as hell.
How are you doing now 😂

Treatments? I don’t believe people need phlebotomies for secondary erythrocytosis. TRT is the main cause for it. Itching is another symptom of it.
I believe if they’re symptomatic, they could benefit from a phlebotomy. However, Iron Studies is very important, vital, to if they can handle it or not. Ferritin needs to be above 100 consistently with phlebotomies, or they’re almost pointless. I think 2 a year at max. So they need iron supplements to keep Ferritin normal, and we know that kinda defeats the purpose because Ferrous Sulfate can make the problem worse. However, take Iron daily, to keep EPO levels normal. It’s finicky! Taking Iron every other day will allow the body to absorb more. The daily Iron is to keep EPO down while allowing the body to absorb smaller amounts. Probably best to donate first, then supplement everyday, keeping EPO down and boosting Ferritin at the same time. This should allow fewer donations.

@@saswatshubhamjena5746 hey, how are you now?
@@callalaaa alive ..
@@saswatshubhamjena5746 what's your problem bro ???
@@saswatshubhamjena5746 It's due to heart failure
I disagree with parts of this. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the organs. MY organs love this extra oxygen. Otherwise I could die of organ failure or organ hypoxia. I'm on androgens and therefore I have this "deadly" polycythemia. I feel fine. A high hematocrit doesn't hurt people in high elevations, in fact it is necessary for them. People with heart/lung problems have polycythemia to keep their organs (Incl. heart) oxygenated. Trying to reduce the RBC count in their case will prematurely kill them. IOW, let nature take its course. The endocrine system is highly complex with positive and negative feedbacks , so don't be trying to outsmart it because you can cause more harm than not.
He didn't tell you to lower your red blood cell count if you're sick in fact even never even told us how to lower it if you need high red blood cells you're not going to lower them to a dangerous level by staying hydrated I think maybe you are overreacting to something that was never even said in this video
So for example if I get my hematocrit back to a safe level by drinking water then there's nothing else wrong with me
The audio is so bad
Horrible audio
confusing, english would be nice
The audio is so bad and the guy talks so fast you cant understand him - get a lavaliere mic and do not record in a echo chamber.
