[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 260421, member: 15043"] Definitely don’t think it’s harmless. Don’t think anyone can say that it’s harmless. Everything in the body works on a balance system. Anytime the body has too little or too much of something, or too low or too high of something, it’s going to cause issues. So erythrocytosis is obv no different The answer to ur question is complicated tho. So many factors have to be considered. Do I personally worry about a HCT level of 55 or lower in myself, no. Because I know all my other risk factors for having any issues cardiovascularly are very low. Would I be super concerned if my HCT went up to 56 or 57? Not really. But I would personally donate blood and get it down a bit just as a precautionary measure. Luckily HCT is not something I have to worry about tho. Mine has run between 49-51 for a while now, despite my dosages being the highest they’ve ever been, and using compounds like nandrolone and primobolan. As far as giving my opinion on having an increased level of RBC’s with others, I’d have to take it on a case by case basis. I’d have to know where their HCT level sat, how hydrated they were at the time of their labs, what their platelet level was, whether they had insulin resistance going on, and to what degree if they did.
