Erythrocytosis is a phenomenon with life-threatening complications and
a broad differential diagnosis. Erythrocytosis is usually secondary to
a cardiopulmonary condition leading to a low arterial oxygen tension.
A probable diagnosis can often be made on the basis of the history,
physical examination, a measurement of the peripheral oxygen
saturation, and simple laboratory tests. The differential diagnosis
can be narrowed down by a determination of the erythropoietin
concentration and the JAK2 mutation. If the erythrocytosis is found to
be non-physiological, then reduction of the haematocrit via
bloodletting and, depending on the diagnosis, treatment with
acetylsalicylic acid are indicated.

Yawn, another genetic caused disorder not supporting the iron causes all
disease because people eat meat notion.
It says if one has the genetic disorder that results in too many red
blood cells then removing some of them or thinning blood with aspirin
helps symptoms.
