Physiologically Appropriate Polycythemia Physiologically inappropriate polycythemia (Secondary to decreased tissue oxygenation or hypoxic (Secondary to appropriate erythropoietin production erythrocytosis) or response) High-altitude erythrocytosis (Monge disease) * Tumors, cysts, hemangiomas, and so foh Pulmonary disease * Androgen abuse - Chronic cor pulmonale * Erythropoietin abuse - Ayerza syndrome * Familial polycythemia Cyanotic congenital hea disease Hypoventilation syndromes - Primary alveolar hypoventilation - Pickwickian syndrome, Ondine curse - Positional desaturation - Sleep apnea Abnormal hemoglobins - Inherited - Acquired: Drugs and chemicals, carboxyhemoglobin - Familial polycythemia
