CBC Blood Test - Slightly high red blood cell count

Hi
Recent CBC and Metabolic test. Any comments?
Still waiting on my other Testosterone results. Endo office called and said Testosterone was elevated so lowered dose from .5ml twice a week to .5ml once a week. I think i will do .25 ml twice a week. re-test in 3 months Thyroid still not correct, so he increased dose from 88 to 100 micro-grams.

Your Reds are up a bit, plus hematocrit is creeping up a little ... This can be a factor on TRT. In short look at donating blood.

Would like to see other labs if you have them, as noted by Gene. Add iron serum, TIBC, and ferritin to that list, which you will also want to keep tabs on when/if you get on a regular schedule of blood donations.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
