[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 278844, member: 15832"] ^^^ That's why your ferritin is low, iron is blood, you're bleeding out iron/blood every two months! There are all sorts of metabolic abnormalities with low iron/ferritin. You need to find another solution. No one knows at what level of hematocrit is dangerous. The guidelines say the cutoff is 54%, labs ranges are as follows, 49, 50, 51 and 52%. If your lab ranges are 50%, and you're at 51%, go to another lab company with a 52% cutoff and now you're in range. With a secondary erythrocytosis there is an increase in blood volume which enlarges the vascular bed, decreases peripheral resistance and increases cardiac output. Therefore, in a secondary erythrocytosis optimal oxygen transport with increased blood volume occurs at a higher hematocrit value than with a normal blood volume. [B][U]A moderate increase in hematocrit may be beneficial despite the increased viscosity[/U][/B]. There are over 80 million people that live higher than 2,500 meters and they develop a secondary erythrocytosis. Men in parts of Bolivia for instance have a normal range of HCT from 45-61%. These men are not at an increased risk of thrombotic events nor do they have to undergo phlebotomies to manage their hematocrit. Now for my next question, doctors often mismanage hematocrit for levels slightly over the ranges which is completely unnecessary, unless you're symptomatic as a result of higher hematocrit. At what level of hematocrit did you or your doctor start blood donations? [/QUOTE]
