High hemacrat
Bern on topical T for a year now and labs keep showing Hem at 51-54%Normal is 50%. My T levels also rose from pre-T treatment sub normal levels of mid 200s to high or above normal levels
My endocrinologist became alarmed as he feared that high density of red blood corpuscles in my blood put me (I’m 83) at risk for stroke. My Endocrinologist kept lowering my T dosage by 1/4 three times trying to lower the Hemacrat but it stayed at 51 until in Getmany where I teach half the year my German doc drew 500 ml of blood twice in two months. That finally lowered my Hem and T From high to just barely normal. He’s happy with that. Ny US endocrinologist does not like to have his patients draw blood but prefers to lower the T dose which did not work for me.
An interesting thread as they always are when they are so relevant to us personally.
