A condition characterized by an abnormally high number of red blood cells in the blood, also called polycythemia vera.
From Greek erythro- 'red' combined with -aemia meaning 'blood condition' (from haima 'blood'). The term literally describes the blood condition of having too many red cells.
Erythraemia is actually your bone marrow producing red blood cells like a factory stuck in overdrive—it can cause blood clots, strokes, and heart attacks because the blood gets so thick it moves like sludge!
