Splenomegalic polycythemia is an old term for a disorder in which the bone marrow produces an excess of red blood cells, which thickens the blood and is usually accompanied by an increase in the size of the spleen.

Signs that may appear: Facial redness, headache, dizziness, itching after contact with water, a feeling of fullness in the abdomen, or discomfort in the left side.

Origin of the condition: It corresponds to an alteration of the bone marrow cells that regulate blood formation, so its study requires specialized tests.
