Red Blood Cells out of range

[gaz7718]

For the first time a few red blood cell markers are tripped the upper range.

The assessment that accompanied the blood work seemed pretty relaxed about it, but I think some corrective action is required.

mum thinking to give blood and reduce my weekly T dose from 140mg to 120mg.

Total T and free T are above range but in line with prior tests in 2019

Any thoughts or validation of these steps?

For the first time? How long have you been on TRT and what was your previous levels at?

 

[gaz7718]

Yes. 20 months on TRT. Counts has always been higher end if normal range but have tripped over this time.

monotonous difference between this and last Blood test is that I had a 6 month stint of low dose deca which I had stopped 5 weeks before the latest test.

I believe Deca will increase HCT by 2%.

 

[gaz7718]

That would explain part of the increase although had been off deca for 6 weeks and the preceding 2 months was only on 60mg a week.
