Megalosplenic Erythrocytosis treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Megalosplenic erythrocytosis is an old name for a blood disorder in which the bone marrow produces an excess of red blood cells, which thickens the blood and is usually accompanied by an enlarged spleen.

Common symptoms: Headache, reddening of the skin, itching—especially after a hot bath—dizziness, and a feeling of heaviness in the left side of the abdomen may occur.

Why it happens: It is related to abnormalities in the production of blood cells within the bone marrow.

Which specialist treats it? This type of condition is studied by the hematologist. If lab tests show elevated red blood cell counts or persistent symptoms appear, it is advisable to have it evaluated by a professional to determine its nature.
