[QUOTE="Dr Justin Saya MD, post: 39237, member: 12687"] Yes, dehydration will absolutely FALSELY elevate your HCT. To assess, your hemoglobin should be approximately 1/3 of your HCT (or looking at it the other way, your HCT should be approx 3x your HgB). For example, HgB 16, HCT 48. If your HCT is MORE THAN 3x your hemoglobin, then it is likely that dehydration (of some degree) is falsely elevating your HCT (for example HgB 16, HCT 52). If your HCT is or close to 3x the HgB level and the HCT is above 51-52, then it is likely that you truly do have an elevated HCT and it is NOT falsely elevated by dehydration. [/QUOTE]
