Summary Introduction
Introduction:
An abnormal increase in the number of erythrocytes or red blood corpuscles (RBCs) is termed as polycythemia. It may either result from a bone marrow cancer or change in the altitude, which lowers the oxygen level in the body. When it is caused due to bone marrow cancer, it is called as polycythemia vera (PCV).
