Erythrocytosis is present when there is an increase in the red cell mass, usually accompanied by an elevated hemoglobin and hematocrit. This occurs when there is an intrinsic defect in the erythroid component of the bone marrow or for secondary reasons when an increase in erythropoietin production drives red cell production.
