It is also important to note that
erythrocytosis can present with a subarachnoid hemorrhage (nontraumatic by case reports) and dural venous sinus thrombosis (4); therefore, suspicion of
erythrocytosis should be confirmed by MRI.

For
erythrocytosis, the cutoff point for Hcto was established as >51% for men and >48% for women.

There have been several risk factors implicated for the pathogenesis of thrombosis in patients with CHD such as secondary
erythrocytosis, hypoxia/hypoxaemia-induced activation of the pro-coagulant pathways, chronic acidosis, increased fibrin deposition, increased tissue factor expression and impaired fibrinolysis.1 Adults with cyanotic CHD had an increase in red blood cell mass.
Polycythemia Vera and Idiopathic
Erythrocytosis: Comparison of Clinical and Laboratory Parameters.
According to Dameshek, true polycythemia (polycythemia vera: PV) is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder of the total bone marrow without any evidence of invasiveness, in which
erythrocytosis, leukocytosis, and thrombocytosis are all simultaneously present.
On the other hand, many patients with RCC present with or subsequently develop paraneoplastic syndromes including anemia, fever, hypercalcemia,
erythrocytosis, thrombocytosis, and AA amyloidosis.
Our patient had raised hemoglobin, splenomegaly, no secondary
erythrocytosis, and no elevated erythropoietin (16.5 mIU/ml, normal range 3.7-31.5 mIU/ml).
In T2DM, the life span of red cells can be altered significantly by inflammation, particularly TNF[alpha]-induced oxidative stress [11], obese low-grade systemic inflammatory response syndrome [12], the presence of elevated levels of advanced glycation end-products on the surface of red cells [13,14],hypoxia [15],and excessive
erythrocytosis [16].
