A single drop of blood contains millions of erythrocytes and just thousands of leukocytes. Specifically, males have about 5.4 million erythrocytes per microliter (µL) of blood, and females have approximately 4.8 million per µL. In fact, erythrocytes are estimated to make up about 25 percent of the total cells in the body.

Blood is made up of 55% plasma and 45% formed elements, mainly red blood cells (RBCs), which comprise 99% of the cellular component. Hematocrit, representing blood cell percentage, typically ranges from 36-50%. It also highlights conditions like anemia, which reduces RBCs and oxygen transport, and polycythemia, which increases RBCs and blood viscosity, posing health risks.

It outlines the pathophysiology, distinguishing between primary (genetic) and secondary (caused by other conditions) polycythemia, the diagnostic techniques, clinical manifestations, and nursing care strategies. Key nursing responsibilities include monitoring symptoms, educating patients, and evaluating treatment efficacy.
