My RBC count is very high according to my blood report, 8.5 million/cumm. I have not noticed any symptoms yet. Is this a serious problem? Does it require a bone marrow biopsy, or does it indicate low oxygen levels?

High RBC can indicate dehydration, high altitude adaptation, or rarely bone marrow issues. If asymptomatic, it may not be serious. Repeat test after hydration.

Dr. Kamran Suggests...

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a EPO (Erythropoietin) Test Test
