At EOMC Infusion Clinic, we provide specialized care close to home for patients living with POLYCYTHEMIA.

Polycythemia is a condition where the body produces too many red blood cells, causing the blood to become thicker than normal. This can increase the risk of blood clots, stroke, or heart complications.

Common causes include:
• Polycythemia vera (a bone marrow disorder)
• Chronic low oxygen levels (such as from lung disease or smoking)
• Certain kidney conditions or tumors
• Anabolic Steroids
• Testosterone use

Treatment focuses on lowering red blood cell levels and reducing clot risk. This may include:
• Therapeutic phlebotomy (removing blood to reduce thickness)
• IV hydration
• Ongoing lab monitoring

Our experienced team works closely with your provider to deliver safe, effective infusion services — without the need to travel far from home.

Precision Care for Blood Balance. Close to home. Right here at EOMC.
Talk with your provider for a referral and call 918-721-0430.
