[QUOTE="Hoosier52, post: 97940, member: 13113"] I found this report online. I live at 1 mile high and have borderline high HCT. The HCT numbers in this article seem to be higher than some would recommend. Thoughts? [url]http://www.patientcareonline.com/obesity/what-include-workup-elevated-hemoglobin-concentration-and-hematocrit[/url] [FONT="]"There is overwhelming evidence that values up to [/FONT][FONT="]18 g/dL (for hemoglobin concentration) or 53% (for hematocrit) [/FONT][FONT="]should not be considered elevated in white or [/FONT][FONT="]Asian men who live at altitudes of 1000 m (approximately [/FONT][FONT="]3000 ft) above sea level or less.[/FONT][FONT="]1[/FONT][FONT="] Corresponding cutoff [/FONT][FONT="]values for white and Asian women are 16.5 g/dL and 48%.
