[QUOTE="Dr Justin Saya MD, post: 67663, member: 12687"] Unless you live at high altitude, smoke cigarettes, have COPD, or have hemochromatosis (too much iron), I would be suspicious of the baseline HgB and HCT 17/49.9 despite total Testosterone only in the 400's. Specifically, I would be concerned about pre-existing sleep apnea driving that level up. Sleep apnea combined with going on TRT is the "double whammy" as I call it which causes some patient's hematocrit to skyrocket into risky territory. [/QUOTE]
