Testosterone is the cornerstone therapy for men with hypogonadism, and also treats any associated anaemia by promoting erythropoiesis. However, excessive doses cause erythrocytosis (raised red cell mass), especially if other risk factors are present ...

Novel exon 12 mutations in the HIF2A gene associated with erythrocytosis.
Erythrocytosis can arise from deregulation of the erythropoietin (Epo) axis resulting from defects in the oxygen-sensing pathway. Epo synthesis is controlled by the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) complex, composed of an a and a ß subunit.

CHARACTERISTICS OF DIAGNOSTIC APPROACH TO ERYTHROCYTOSIS OF DIFFERENT GENESIS
Aim. To show distribution of the investigated patients into diagnostic groups, find out the diagnostic value of the levels of hemoglobin and packed cell volume as possible markers of absolute erythrocytosis in the group of patients with polycythaemia ...

Background Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) increase haemoglobin and haematocrit levels, potentially causing secondary erythrocytosis—defined as a haemoglobin level above 16.5 g/dL in men and 16.0 g/dL in women—which is associated with ...

Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula: A rare cause of erythrocytosis
Various chronic pulmonary diseases can cause hypoxia mediated erythrocytosis. We report on a 46 year old male patient presenting with erythrocytosis, in whom a pulmonary arteriovenous fistula on the basis of a vascular malformation was identified as a ...

Heterozygous Hemoglobin Sherwood Forest Causing Polycythemia
Hemoglobin (Hb) Sherwood Forest is a rare high-affinity hemoglobin first described in 1977, arising from an Arg to Thr substitution at codon 104 of the beta chain.

Erythrocytosis: diagnosis and investigation [PDF]
An absolute erythrocytosis is present when the red cell mass is greater than 125% of the predicted. This is suspected when the hemoglobin or hematocrit is above the normal range.

Walsh & Hoyt: Erythrocytosis and Polycythemia Vera
Erythrocytosis is characterized by elevation of the red blood cell count, hematocrit, and hemoglobin concentration; it may be absolute or apparent. Absolute erythrocytosis results from an increase in total red cell mass and may be further categorized as ...

Risk Factors for Posttransplant Erythrocytosis: Parathyroid Hormone Paradox?
Objectives: Posttransplant erythrocytosis affects 8% to 26% of kidney transplant recipients. In this study, our aim was to define associations among hypercalcemia, persistent hyperparathyroidism, and posttransplant erythrocytosis.
