[QUOTE="CROM, post: 165152, member: 16642"] I did a CBC and my hematocrit was 52. My hematocrit has always been a little elevated anyway. But can a very low carb keto diet cause enough dehydration to make your hematocrit/hemoglobin elevated? The CBC doesn’t show BUN/CREATINE RATIO (I think that measures level of hydration). So I don’t know if I was hydrated or not. Although I drank a lot of water 24 hours prior to testing. Despite drinking a lot of water I suspect it might be hard to hydrate the body on a low carb diet. My sodium level was clinically low (which can be a sign of dehydration). I am going to carb up Friday to Sunday and retake the CBC on Monday to see if hematocrit goes down. Just wondering if anyone has any insight to the question. [/QUOTE]
