What is polychythemia?

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.


What is asymmetric left facet degeneration?

The question rather broad. For one thing it does not isolate the spine region. The facet joints are non- load bearing joints in the spine. They guide the motion of the spine while the disks bear the load. Facets can degenerate for several reasons. Disease or pathology. Trauma ( direct or from loadbearing). Congenital anomaly. The result will be arthritic pain or worse if the articular nerves are effected or the facet hypertrophies to the point of putting pressure on the exiting nerve root.


What is urinary bladder diverticulum?

The musculature of the bladder hypertrophies to overcome obstruction (Benign prostatic hyperplasia) causing trabeculation. Between these hypertrophied bundles there are shallow depressions i.e. sacculations. Sometimes one or two of the saccules continue to enlarge and forms a diverticulum.
