[QUOTE="LiveX2, post: 277181, member: 46224"] [USER=43484]@WestB87[/USER] there are several reasons you may have high H&H... H&H increase while on TRT, aside from dehydration and sleep apnea. TRT causes an increase in RBC, or erythrocytosis. From an article on DiscountLabs (post #6), they provide a list of causes and ways to manage (excerpt RE erythrocytosis below): "Erythrocytosis is a medical condition that appears when the body is making too many red blood cells. RBCs are responsible for transporting oxygen to organs and tissues. When they are too many, the blood can become too thick and cause cardiovascular complications. There are two types of erythrocytosis – primary and secondary. Primary erythrocytosis is usually caused by bone marrow problems. RBCs are made in the bone marrow, and something might trigger an increase in their production. Secondary erythrocytosis is caused by certain diseases or drugs, including testosterone replacement therapy. Some studies concluded that testosterone reduces hepcidin (a hepatic hormone) which is related to iron absorption paths. When hepcidin is reduced, erythrocytosis is increased [1] This medical condition is represented by an increase in hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct). When the Hb is higher than 18.5 g/dL, and the Hct is higher than 52% in men, the patient suffers from erythrocytosis." [/QUOTE]
