AI Article Synopsis
- Erythrocytosis refers to the increased production of red blood cells, which is commonly observed in high-altitude populations.
- While having more red blood cells can improve oxygen delivery and is helpful in high-altitude environments,
- excessive erythrocytosis may result in health issues, such as chronic mountain sickness (CMS), which can be detrimental to individuals.
Article Abstract
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. Although a modest increase in blood O-carrying capacity may be beneficial for life in highland environments, erythrocytosis can also become excessive and lead to maladaptive syndromes such as chronic mountain sickness (CMS).
