Relative erythrocytosis can also be caused by diuretics, medicines that cause your kidneys to eliminate salt and water more quickly than normal.

Description. Collapse Section. Familial erythrocytosis is an inherited condition characterized by an increased number of red blood cells (erythrocytes). The primary function of these cells is to carry oxygen from the lungs to tissues and organs throughout the body.
Polycythaemia, also known as erythrocytosis, means having a high concentration of red blood cells in your blood. This makes the blood thicker and less able to travel through blood vessels and organs. Many of the symptoms of polycythaemia are caused by this sluggish flow of blood.
Secondary polycythemia, also known as secondary erythrocytosis or secondary erythrocythemia, is a rare condition in which your body produces an excess amount of red blood cells. This overproduction of red blood cells thickens your blood.
Secondary polycythemia is defined as an absolute increase in red blood cell mass that is caused by enhanced stimulation of red blood cell production. In contrast, polycythemia vera is characterized by bone marrow with an inherent increased proliferative activity.
The most common causes of secondary polycythemia include obstructive sleep apnea, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Other causes include testosterone replacement therapy and heavy cigarette smoking.
Other abnormality of red blood cellsICD-10 code R71. 8 for Other abnormality of red blood cells is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .

If you have a high red blood cell count, then you have something called erythrocytosis. This makes your blood thicker than it should be, and it could increase your risk for blood clots.
Approximate Synonyms. Erythrocytosis. Erythrocytosis secondary to tobacco use. Erythrocytosis secondary to tobacco use or abuse. Polycythemia, secondary. Clinical Information. An abnormal increase of the red blood cell in the circulating blood. An increase in the total red cell mass of the blood.
