I love this content, nice and interesting.

My greatest concern with polycythemia is the risk of thromboembolism. With the increased viscosity of the blood, it can easily clot and embolise to distant organs causing great damage or even death.

I also learnt a new thing here about the concept of blood doping by athletes using the principle of polycythemia.

Thanks alot for sharing.

Thanks a lot for reading my post. Blood doping is illegal now in sport, but it is surprising what people can do for more oxygen and energy for muscles in sport
