[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 247647, member: 16042"] In My Opinion: Dancing around the issue with HCT at 61 and 59=DANGER. That is really high. The longer you procrastinate, the more likely an unwanted event. It is likely if the figure dropped in a short time, that you were dehydrated... so that also means you need to work on continual hydration, not just for when you have a blood test. But 59 is still TOO HIGH! The viscosity curve is not linear. Above 50% the curve steepness increases. This means every point has a larger detrimental effect on your blood. This is serious my man! The cause and effect is utterly obvious. Your cycle and 200mg/week are the cause of your high hemoglobin/hematocrit. It may also be compounded by sleep apnea or hypoxia. Your posts reflect you are vacillating about phlebotomy, blaming others etc. I sense a lot of denial and procrastination about how serious this is. If it was me I'd drop that dose of T pronto, even discontinue until this problem is solved, and see a hematologist ASAP who will order you therapeutic phlebotomies until you are at 52-54 or below, and then more phlebotomies as needed if it rises again until the causes are under control. You want to donate to save others' lives, How about saving YOUR OWN LIFE! Why do you think they will not accept your blood with high hemoglobin. As has been stated, Hemoglobin and hematocrit are directly correlated markers of blood viscosity. Your bloods viscosity is not safe to transfuse to others... it is also not safe for you. As you get more phlebotomies, also monitor your ferritin. Ferritin and iron are a more complex topic. Ferritin shows how much iron you have stored in tissues. This is different than serum iron which is what is available in circulating blood. They are largely independent figures. Depleted Ferritin from too many phlebotomies is bad. [/QUOTE]
