[QUOTE="Keepfit1, post: 239507, member: 44282"] Aspirin wont affect your Hct and it wont alter level of platelets but it does make them less sticky hence aspirin is good for anti clotting at low doses say 75mg. Water will affect the Hct, if you want to keep your Hct low as poss drink water for at least the day before the test and have the blood test later in the day as Hct drops as the day goes on,ie as you hydrate more, or at least be up 2-3 hours before test and drink a few large glasses of water. You can only hydrate so much and your Hct wont drop any more as your body adjusts. Being dehydrated increases Hct and so does alcohol in the days before, ditto with flying. [/QUOTE]
