[QUOTE="Tron, post: 111974, member: 12371"] Hello: I see there is not too much interest in this topic. It is strange because I think high hematocrit is a common problem in TRT. I've read that ARB (angiotensin II receptor blockers) can reduce hemoglobin because angiotensin II has an erythropoietic effect on kidneys and also it promotes oxygenation. ARB's are used to decrease blood pressure because angiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor and when it is blocked the kidneys are going to work harder and they make more fluids excretion. Then we have to effects that are in opposition. For one side, we have a real decrease in hemoglobin production that is good for us. But on the contrary, we are going to lose more fluids that can reduce plasma volume an increase the relative hematocrit in blood. At the moment, I haven't found what could it be the net effect of these two mechanisms. [/QUOTE]
