Polycythemia
In this section, you will describe the pathology (statistics about it, background information, etc.). Give as much information as you can about it but be sure it is relevant information and not just filler.
Include the following sections that are underlined:
Normal anatomy of the major body system affected:
In this section, you will describe what is considered NORMAL anatomy for your particular pathophysiology.
Normal physiology of the major body system affected:
In this section, you will be discussing the physiology.
Mechanism of Pathophysiology: This section is likely going to be the most in-depth and longest section. In this section, you will explain your particular pathophysiology from a scientific standpoint.
Describe what the pathophysiology is doing that is causing these issues, how the normal anatomy & physiology is affected/different in a person with your condition. Show a thorough understanding of the anatomical and physiological changes contributing to the disease.
Some good keywords to search for when doing your research might be “Pathology of __________”, Pathophysiology of __________.”
Prevention: In this section, you will explain how your pathophysiology could be prevented.
Treatment: In this section, you will explain how your pathophysiology is commonly treated. Provide possible treatment protocols for the condition based on current scientific literature.
