You must have heard that one of your relatives and friends said that I have high blood pressure and I am doing some treatment for it, or maybe you yourself have this problem and are looking for reliable information. You are in this field, Dr. Hamid Sajjad, I am a specialist in internal diseases. In this video, I want to talk about the diagnosis and treatment of blood concentration. If you are interested, watch the rest of the video. The first thing is to have a precise definition of this problem. This issue is very important because many people label the patient as blood concentration without considering the exact definition of this problem for themselves and in their imagination, and that person is also involved in this problem for a lifetime. And the cost of treating this seems to be a problem if he is not suffering from blood concentration at all, and on the other hand, it is possible that a person is really suffering from blood concentration and has a dangerous type of it, but because he is an unqualified person, you cannot comment on the condition of that patient. He thought that he was not referred to an internist or a blood specialist on time and that he had problems because of this, or that he really has a blood concentration and it has a benign type, but correct and valid treatments are not given to him. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to diagnose and treat this problem, whether the person is suffering from this problem or not, and if so, what should be the next step, leave it to an internal medicine specialist or a hematologist to prevent such incidents. Now, the blood concentration What does it mean? As the name suggests, when the number of red blood cells in a person increases, the mentality of blood concentration is associated with us. However, internal medicine specialists always refer to the standard definition of blood concentration defined by international authorities and professors of this field for this problem. If a man's hemoglobin is higher than 16.5 and a woman's hemoglobin is higher than 16, when the hemoglobin is shown as hb in a routine blood test, and if a man's hematocrit is more than 49% and a woman's hematocrit is more than 48%, which is shown as hct in a routine blood test Can we say to this person that he has blood concentration, but in the medical community, we do not recognize this problem as blood concentration, but we know it as polycythemia, which in English means an increase in the number of red blood cells, and the term blood concentration is expressed in the general public. Therefore, it is very easy to diagnose, and you yourself can evaluate whether this person has blood concentration by looking at the blood test sample, which is known as cbc and is available everywhere. Hemoglobin is a protein that carries oxygen, and our anemia criterion is based on this criterion. Hematocrit means the percentage of red blood cells per unit volume. In cases where that item is a little high, but does not reach the level I said, it does not include the definition of blood concentration. Of course, most compatriots leave the judgment about this matter to their doctors, but anyway there are people who make wrong comments. This disorder is mostly seen in adults over 50 years old, but its age range is from 15-90 years old, so it is not seen in people under 15 years old, and it is mostly in men. In terms of clinical symptoms, some patients have no symptoms. Some may have vague and non-specific symptoms such as fatigue; headache; Drowsiness; Mengi or blurred vision. Some may have more serious symptoms, for example, one of them is itching of the skin, especially after a hot bath. Numbness, tingling, feeling of heat and weakness in the hands, feet, arms and legs. A feeling of heaviness and a kind of discomfort and indigestion in the upper abdomen after eating, which is enlarged due to the spleen, abnormal bleeding such as bleeding from the nose and gums, pain in the joints, especially in the leg area, shortness of breath, especially when a person lies down. There are other symptoms. Now, why is our blood thickening? The job of red blood cells is to deliver oxygen to the tissues. Therefore, whenever the amount of oxygenation to the tissues is less than the required amount, the body tries to increase the amount of oxygenation to the tissues by increasing the number of red blood cells, but any other reason that causes the reduction of oxygenation to the tissues is also The arrangement can increase the concentration of blood and the number of red blood cells. For example, people who live at high altitudes or all people who suffer from various lung diseases, oxygen reaches their lungs less than usual, and this problem in the long run triggers the compensatory reactions of the body and stimulates the production of red blood cells.
