Increased production of red blood cells (RBCs), or erythrocytosis, has been considered a
hallmark response of acclimatization in lowlanders at high altitude since its first description …

Erythrocytosis, or increased production of red blood cells, is one of the most well-
documented physiological traits that varies within and among in high-altitude populations …

Objective Since polycythemia is a predominant trait in some high altitude dwellers (Chronic
Mountain Sickness, CMS, or Monge's disease) but not others living at the same altitude in …

Excessive erythrocytosis (EE) is the main sign of chronic mountain sickness (CMS), a
maladaptive clinical syndrome prevalent in Andean and other high-altitude populations …

High altitude hypoxia is believed to be experienced at elevations more than 2500 meters. A
few studies have shed light on the biochemical aspects of high altitude acclimatization that …

High altitude polycythemia is a maladaptation of highlanders exposed to hypoxic
environment, leading to high blood viscosity and severe cardiorespiratory dysfunction …
