Hi,
It's called as polycythemia. There are multiple causes for it ranging from benign to some cases requiring concern. However, usually it's not that worrisome, but it depends on the cause of it.
It's moderately elevated at present. So don't worry at present and hope for the best.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
