[|AI|]  Hi Islam, Your condition is known as polycythemia.  What was your erythropoietin level. Are you a smoker or on some herbal medicines? I hope your CT scan was normal. One more thing is you should not donate blood, and it should be discarded as it is a pathological condition. Are your WBC counts normal. You should also do a JAK-2 mutation study and renal Doppler if you are hypertensive. You need to undergo regular therapeutic phlebotomies to maintain your PCV at 45. All the best.
