[QUOTE="MarkLA, post: 39032, member: 12487"] My own experience: I used to have my blood tested only AM. Before going to the draw, I would drink lots of water (and coffee) to ensure I was properly hydrated -- at least that's what I thought. I would be peeing clear, but I don't think I was really hydrated. One day I ran the test later in the day 2-3pm and the results were significantly lower. Here's a recent example: 4/22/16 @ 2:45pm - HGB 15.2, HCT 46.4 4/29/16 @ 8am - HGB 16.1, HCT 48.1 Yes, I know there's a week between them, but this has been the pattern. Now, when evaluating my need for therapuetic phlebotomy, I always get checked in the afternoon. [/QUOTE]
