How would increased red blood cell production affect blood viscosity and what problems would this cause for someone with high blood pressure?
Increased increased red cell production (polycythaemia) makes blood 'thicker' and increases the tendency to clot. The main worry for someone with High Blood Pressure is that they are already at risk of heart disease and stroke so with the increased blood viscosity the risk is even higher. The type/cause of the polycythaemia is also relevant - high blood pressure itself can cause increased blood viscosity, or the cause could be genetic or some other underlying illness (eg chronic lung disease). Either way, it is important to manage the increased red blood cell situation and the hypertension swiftly. It is also important to give up smoking and lose weight.

Why are there too few red blood cells in an anaemic person?
Anemia can be caused by a variety of factors, including blood loss, poor red blood cell production, or increased red blood cell destruction.

Your red blood cell count will increase in response to the body's increased demand for oxygen as a result of long-term aerobic exercise.
Can impaired red blood cell production cause anemia?
Yes. Anemia can arise from lack of red blood cell production, hemaglobin, iron or another requirement for carrying oxygen in the blood.
What does a white blood cell have that a red blood cell doesn't?
The white blood cell has nucleus that red blood cell does not
