Excessive red blood cell (RBC) production, known as polycythemia, occurs when the body produces an abnormal number of red blood cells, leading to increased blood viscosity. This condition can be primary, resulting from genetic mutations like those found in polycythemia vera, or secondary, caused by factors such as chronic hypoxia or tumors producing erythropoietin. Symptoms may include headaches, dizziness, and an increased risk of blood clots. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests and bone marrow examination.
What else can I help you with?
What is RBC production?
red blood cell
What was the Production Budget for Excessive Force?
The Production Budget for Excessive Force was $13,000,000.
How do the kidney help regulate erythrocyte production?
kidneys secrete an hormone named Erythropoietin which stimulates RBC production
A substance that forms red blood cells?
NB! not well fomulated question.... Hemoglobin is inside RBC Lipids and protein molecules make the membranous part of RBC Erythropoetin enhances RBC production
What hormone is secreted and from which organs that stimulate red blood cell production?
erythropoitin secreted from kidneys stimulate rbc production.
Is excessive urine production?
Not sure
RBC production is regulated by what hormone?
The volume number of RBC refers to the number of blood cells in each cubic millimeter of blood. This number is determined by the erythropoietin hormone.
How does defective Hexose monophosphate shunt results in increase of RBC fagility?
The Hexose monophophate shunt is involved in the production of Glutathione, this molecule helps relieve the oxidative stress that RBC come under from carrying O2. with out this anti oxident RBC can be damaged.
What controls RBC production?
Red blood cell production, also called erythropoiesis, is mainly stimulated by a protein hormone called erythropoietin (EPO). Other factors, including cytokines like the colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) are also important.
A deficiency of folic acid and vitamin B12 decreases RBC production by?
Decreasing the synthesis of DNA molecules.
excessive production of any hormone is called?
