What Clinical Symptoms Can An Infant with Polycythemia Have?
Discussion
Polycythemia is defined as a venous hematocrit of > 65% or a venous hemoglobin of > 22 g/dL. Capillary values are unreliable and any values greater than normal should be repeated with a venous sampling for confirmation. Hyperviscosity is distinct from polycythemia and “… is defined as a viscosity greater than 14.6 cP at a shear rate of 11.5 per second, or a value 2 standard deviations above the mean.” Hyperviscosity is difficult to measure in the clinical setting therefore polycythemia is often used as a proxy.
Polycythemia occurs in about ~1.5-5% of births. Risk factors for it includes...
