Polycythaemia is the high concentration of red blood cells in the blood. This is caused by the over-stimulation of red blood cell production or a relative increase in red blood cells in the circulating blood. The haematocrit value can be up to 60-80%, increasing the blood's viscosity. There will be extra load upon the heart and it may lead to heart hypertrophies.
