Erythrocytosis-high viscosity

Polycythemia-High Viscosity Syndrome is a more common disease in the neonatal period. Due to increased red blood cells, blood viscosity, and slow blood flow, it is likely to cause poor tissue perfusion and hypoxia, and damage to the heart, brain, and kidneys. Organs can partly affect the long-term prognosis of the nervous system.
