As células vermelhas do sangue (também conhecidas como eritrócitos) desempenham um papel essencial no corpo, ao:
Produzidas na medula óssea, as hemácias contêm hemoglobina, uma proteína responsável por distribuir oxigênio pelo corpo.
A anemia é uma condição caracterizada pela diminuição na contagem de hemácias. Por outro lado, níveis elevados de hemácias podem ocorrer devido a:
Contagens anormais de hemácias geralmente exigem testes adicionais para determinar a causa subjacente.
Um hemograma completo (HC) avalia dois componentes principais das hemácias:
Resultados anormais nesses parâmetros podem indicar condições como anemia, doenças cardíacas ou deficiência de ferro.
A contagem de hemácias mede o número de eritrócitos no sangue e é normalmente parte de um hemograma completo. Ela ajuda a detectar e monitorar:
As hemácias entregam oxigênio, essencial para o crescimento celular, reparo e saúde geral.
Seu médico pode recomendar o exame de hemácias:
As contagens de hemácias são medidas em milhões de células por microlitro (x106/µL). Os intervalos normais variam conforme idade, sexo e altitude. Referências gerais para adultos:
Em crianças e recém-nascidos, os valores variam, com contagens mais altas ao nascimento.
O hormônio eritropoietina, produzido nos rins, sinaliza à medula óssea para produzir mais hemácias. Produção ou vida útil anormal das hemácias (geralmente 120 dias) pode levar a distúrbios.
Um exame de hemácias é frequentemente realizado como parte de um hemograma completo durante:
As contagens de hemácias fornecem informações essenciais sobre sua saúde. Resultados anormais geralmente requerem testes adicionais para diagnosticar condições como anemia, distúrbios sanguíneos ou doenças crônicas. Consulte seu médico para interpretar os resultados e planejar os próximos passos.

Entendendo a Contagem Alta de Células Vermelhas do Sangue (Policitemia): Causas, Sintomas e Impactos na Saúde
Uma contagem alta de células vermelhas do sangue (hemácias), também conhecida como policitemia ou eritrocitose, ocorre quando há um aumento na massa absoluta de hemácias no corpo. Essa condição geralmente é refletida por níveis elevados de hemoglobina ou hematócrito acima do intervalo normal para a idade e sexo da pessoa.
A policitemia pode ser classificada em dois tipos principais:
Baixos níveis de oxigênio devido a:
Doenças renais:
Doenças hepáticas:
Cirrose.
Doença hepática gordurosa não alcoólica.
Tabagismo.
Desidratação.
Certos medicamentos:
Muitas pessoas com policitemia podem não apresentar sintomas. Quando os sintomas ocorrem, podem incluir:
Em casos graves, a policitemia pode levar à formação de coágulos sanguíneos devido ao aumento da viscosidade do sangue.
Uma contagem alta de hemácias pode ser um sinal de problemas de saúde subjacentes e aumentar o risco de eventos trombóticos. O monitoramento regular e o manejo adequado são cruciais, especialmente para aqueles com policitemia vera primária, devido ao risco potencial de progressão para leucemia.
Se você apresentar sintomas ou foi diagnosticado com níveis elevados de hemácias, consulte um profissional de saúde para uma avaliação detalhada e um plano de tratamento adequado.

I have been using Healthmatters.io since 2021. I travel all over the world and use different doctors and health facilities. This site has allowed me to consolidate all my various test results over 14 years in one place. And every doctor that I show this to has been impressed. Because with any health professional I talk to, I can pull up historical results in seconds. It is invaluable. Even going back to the same doctor, they usually do not have the historical results from their facility in a graph format. That has been very helpful.

Uma baixa contagem de células vermelhas do sangue (hemácias) pode indicar diversas condições de saúde, incluindo:
Tipos de Anemia:
Distúrbios do Sangue e da Medula Óssea:
Fatores Nutricionais e de Estilo de Vida:
Outras Condições Médicas:
Medicamentos: Alguns medicamentos podem aumentar ou diminuir os níveis de hemácias.
Fatores Genéticos: Um histórico familiar de condições relacionadas às hemácias pode desempenhar um papel.
Um teste de contagem de hemácias, isoladamente, não pode identificar a causa exata de níveis anormais. Testes adicionais geralmente incluem:
Consulte seu médico para uma análise detalhada dos resultados dos exames e das possíveis causas de níveis baixos de hemácias.
Os sintomas comuns associados à baixa contagem de hemácias incluem:
Se você apresentar esses sintomas ou receber resultados anormais em exames de hemácias, procure orientação médica para investigar possíveis causas subjacentes e iniciar o tratamento adequado.
