That would depend upon which blood cells and how much would "too few" be.

With a gross reduction in red blood cells (RBCs) that are responsible for carrying oxygen via iron on the heme molecule, one can be diagnosed as having anemia. With a gross reduction in white blood cells (WBCs), that help fight infection, one can be diagnosed as having a leukemia. There are a myriad contributing factors in both of these diagnoses, and having low levels does not automatically point to a startling condition, but may be part of painting a bigger picture of compromise.

Which condition results in thick blood as a result of having too many red blood cells?

The condition that results in thick blood as a result of having too many red blood cells is polycythemia vera. This is a bone marrow disease that occurs more often in men, than in women.


What does the medical term PV mean?

PV stands for polycythemia vera, a rare blood disorder where the bone marrow produces too many red blood cells. This condition can lead to thicker blood, increased risk of blood clots, and potential complications. Treatment often involves medications or phlebotomy to reduce the red blood cell count.


Your sed rate is 1 is that good?

A low ESR is generally not of any particular concern. However it can occur with polycythaemia. this is a condition where too many red blood cells are produced, and with extreme leucocytosis, which is a condition where too many white blood cells are produced, as well as with some protein abnormalities.


What can anemia lead to?

First of all:Anemia is a medical condition in which the capacity of the blood to transport oxygen to the tissues is reduced, either because of too few red blood cells, or because of too little hemoglobin. This can lead to lathargy, low energy levels, pale appearence, you may become short of breath. Other symptoms include: Hairloss, malaise and heart problems.

What is the medical term meaning condition in which any of the blood components are abnormal in some way?

The general term for pathologic changes to circulating blood cells is blood dyscrasia. Some of the categories would be morphologic changes to the cells (such as sickle cell animal, microcytosis, etc.), increased numbers of immature blood cells (such as seen in regenerative anemai), gross nuclear changes (usually indicative of neoplastic changes) and inappropriate cell numbers (either too high or too low).


What condition of immediate concern results from a loss of red blood cells due to hemorrahage?

The immediate concern is the lack of blood. Lose too much and you will die. I am also worried on their oxygination levels. Red Blood Cells transport o2 to the body cells and carry CO2 away. Losing blood means oxygen is not being delivered to the cells in the body and you will experience cell death. When the cells that are dying are located in the brain and vital organs - that is bad.
