Introduction Oligocythemia can be defined as a pathological condition of the blood in which the number of formed elements, in particular red blood cells (erythrocytes), and minute blood cells (leukocytes) is reduced compared to the norm. Typically, the red blood cell count decreases, but the white blood cell concentration also decreases, meaning that a patient with oligocentia has a lower overall white blood cell count. This also includes a decrease in the number of cells that are important for

Oligocythemia** is a condition where the number of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the blood decreases to a level significantly below normal.

First of all, you should understand that such a number of red blood cells is necessary in order to deliver oxygen to organs and tissues. If the number of red blood cells is reduced, then the blood cells cannot perform their main function - to provide blood supply to the organs and tissues of the body. In such cases, hypoxia or oxygen starvation occurs, a condition that can lead to serious complications such as cardiovascular diseases, ischemic disorders and other dangerous conditions.

The causes of the Oligocene type may be hypofunction of the thyroid gland, which leads to a decrease in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. As a result, the body delays the production of prostaglandins and some other biological substances, which helps to reduce the number of red blood cells. The cause may also be the presence of acute infectious diseases in the patient, which are accompanied by
