Notes on Different Meanings

• Important Note: In modern Vietnamese, "đa huyết" is almost exclusively used in the context of the classical "four temperaments" theory (sanguine, choleric, melancholic, phlegmatic). It is a specialized term and should not be confused with medical terms related to blood (e.g., polycythemia). For medical conditions involving an excess of red blood cells, the term "đa hồng cầu" is used.
