Hi aslam,
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 theraupetic phlebotomies to maintain your PCV at 45.All the best.
