    Description

    Test your knowledge of polycythemia with this quiz! Learn about the different types of polycythemia, including relative and true polycythemia, and their causes. Discover how an abnormally high hematocrit, or too many red blood cells in circulation, can lead to health complications. Challenge yourself to identify primary polycythemia, which is caused by a gene aberration, and understand how erythropoiesis plays a role in this condition. Take this quiz to expand
