Define polycythema and types, relative vs. absolute, secondary vs primary.
Erythrocytosis: increased [RBC], Hb & Hct

Types:
-Relative: plasma volume decrease: dehydration, diuretics, cholera, henta "four corner's flu" virus,; stress polycythemia/ gaisbock's synrome unkown etiology w/ htn, obesity, stress & smoking
-Absolute
--Primary: low Erythropoietin;
-----hereditary = mutated receptor
-----polycythemia vera: RBC mass increased w/ plasma volume expansion
--2ndry: high Erythropoietin, RBC mass increased w/o plasma volume expansion
What are the causes of relative polycythemia?
