Erythrocytosis Monitoring

Meaning

Erythrocytosis Monitoring is the systematic clinical oversight of red blood cell (erythrocyte) parameters, primarily hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, to detect and manage an abnormal increase in red blood cell mass. This careful monitoring is essential, particularly in hormonal health contexts, because elevated red blood cell counts can increase blood viscosity and raise the risk of thrombotic events. Regular complete blood counts (CBC) are the cornerstone of this surveillance protocol to ensure patient safety.
