[QUOTE="CuirPork, post: 234270, member: 39493"] I have hematocrit levels around 50% since the day I started at this clinic more than 10 years ago. I get my blood tested every 4-6 months and there has never been a significant change in my Hematocrit. However, my testosterone has been as high as 1400 and as low as 33. With such a significant range in testosterone levels, surely if there was a direct correlation between hematocrit and Testosterone, I should see a significant range in hematocrit. According to a report on PubMed, They go on to state that most experience an increase during the first 12 weeks and usually max out and stabilize around 20 weeks. I showed less than 1% change over the time period indicated. You would think that when I switched to Defy Medical and my Testosterone went through the roof, that I would see some impact on my hematocrit, but nothing. Does this urologist have a valid point or are there exceptions to this rule? Should I be concerned? Can I get my hematocrit tested somewhere else after I spend some time getting hydrated (I hate to drink liquid and dehydration affects hematocrit)? Do you need a prescription to get phlebotomized? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
