A member asked:
Can secondary polycythemia occasionally change stool color to darker brown? thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not per se: Bleeding in the intestine should be excluded. Polycythemia, primary or secondary by itself would not affect stool color. Your doctor can arrange to have your stool tested for occult blood. Wish you good health!
