🗑
Type of polycythemia in which there is an increase in erythropoietin production   secondary  
🗑
Causes of secondary polycythemia   blocked blood vessels (especially in liver and kidneys) lung disease, high altitudes  
🗑
Occurs in there are too few red blood cells   anemia  
🗑
Type of anemia in which too many red blood cells are destroyed   Hemolytic  
🗑
Type of anemia in which the bone marrow doesn’t make enough red blood cells   Aplastic  
🗑
Type of anemia caused by too little hemoglobin in the red blood cells   iron deficiency  
🗑
Type of anemia caused by irregular shaped hemoglobin   sickle cell  
🗑
When do the symptoms of sickle cell anemia appear   when the cell is low on O2 (during excersise)  
🗑

🗑
High number of white blood cells   leukocytosis  
🗑
Usually a sign of infection   leukocytosis  
🗑
