[QUOTE="ratbag, post: 109709, member: 972"] My HCT is also like 53 but my MD locally said it has nothing to do with polycythemia so I am fine and not to worry about it. When I had my appoint with Dr. Saya he saw that and then looked at the rest of my CBC and claimed my MD was correct and not to worry about my HCT. Clearly high HCT by itself is not the issue they worry about. I find way too many people here get derailed over high HCT because they assume high HCT by itself is a problem. You add to that those who live with altitude and everyone makes the assumption high HCT is bad... it isn't unless you have polycythemia. Also the large majority of TRT MD's do not even look at HCT let alone Rx phlebotomies. Dr. Crisler doesn't consider it all anymore unless he see's ones platelets are high. Also you never hear of patients on TRT dying of high HCT or polycythemia anywhere. When my iron was really low and I was taking iron supps my HCT was at 57 and again my local MD said not to worry about it and I felt great at the time. [/QUOTE]
