What Does HCM Count Of 34.3 Suggest?

I have an HCM count from my latest blood test of 34.3. Is this something I should be concerned about. Also, I have polycythemia and just had a blood draw (1pint)4 days ago and another test today and it says my HTC went up from 51.9 to52.7. I now live in the Domincan and have had polycythemia for 5 years. In the states the HTC always went down 3, 4 or more points, but never increased. Any suggestions
