6.43 isn't dangerous but it bears watching. You're asking if this level of RBCs is too high or too low. As well as what could cause this and how it's treated. Why aren't you asking your doctor these questions??? That would be the obvious thing to do. If I got abnormal lab results it would never occur to me to post a question on Yahoo and I can't help but wonder why you did instead of consulting your doctor. This is very foolish. Normal RBC counts are as follows: For men - 4.7 - 6.1 million per microliter of blood. For women - 4.2 - 5.4 million per microliter. For children - 4.6 - 4.8 million per microliter. But ranges vary from one lab to the next so if your results are a little outside the range of your lab, they might not be at another. Doctors are well aware of this variation and interpret labs with that in mind. I don't know what your gender is. I can tell you what causes elevated RBCs but I have no way to know if this applies to you. I don't know you and I don't know your health history. Please keep that in mind. Polycythemia vera (also called primary polycythemia) is a blood disorder in which your bone marrow makes too many red blood cells. It's rare and usually develops slowly over time. You can have it for years without noticing any signs or symptoms, especially in the early stages. Often, this condition is found during a blood test done for some other reason. Polycythemia can be acquired (Polycythemia vera) or inherited (Primary familial and congenital polycythemia). There's also secondary polycythemia. This is usually due to increased erythropoietin production either in response to chronic hypoxia or from an erythropoietin secreting tumor. There's also stress polycythemia and smoker's polycythemia. Polycythemia is reported in terms of a hematocrit and/or hemoglobin. Polycythemia vera can't be cured. Instead, it's treated with phlebotomy, medication to suppress bone marrow activity, radiation therapy and symptom management. Treatment is ongoing. Please speak to your doctor and get the interpretation of your labs from that source. I expect your doctor will want a repeat CBC in the near future for comparison but you don't have to wait to be told this, you can ask about it yourself.
