[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 183739, member: 18023"] I don't think you can use the "higher elevations" observation to say higher hematocrit is harmless. Because low O2 at higher elevations does a lot more than just raise HCT. [B]Living at high altitude reduces risk of dying from heart disease: Low oxygen may spur genes to create blood vessels "Lower oxygen levels turn on certain genes and we think those genes may change the way heart muscles function. They may also produce new blood vessels that create new highways for blood flow into the heart." At the same time, the research showed that altitudes above 4,900 feet were detrimental to those suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. "Even modestly lower oxygen levels in people with already impaired breathing and gas exchange may exacerbate hypoxia and pulmonary hypertension [leading to death]," the study said.[/B] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/03/110325151643.htm#:~:text=2-,Living%20at%20high%20altitude%20reduces%20risk%20of%20dying%20from%20heart,genes%20to%20create%20blood%20vessels&text=Summary%3A,heart%20disease%20and%20live%20longer[/URL]. I [I]wonder[/I], if you live at a higher elevation AND take TRT, does your HCT go even higher that 60?? [/QUOTE]
