Alteration in the number, morphology, function, and metabolism of erythrocytes in high-altitude polycythemia

Introduction: High-altitude polycythemia (HAPC) is a common chronic high-altitude disease characterized by significantly increased erythrocyte, hemoglobin (Hb), and hematocrit values and decreased arterial oxygen saturation. The mechanisms underlying HAPC development are unclear; we aimed to investi...
