Supplements for lowering hematocrit?

[stonetag]

I'm way concerned also dk, just had my bloods done last week, good news (to me) test = 1546, bad news HGB = Critical 18.2 g/dl or 182 g/l. Stressing a little. Sleep apnea is also in the equation.

Sleep apnea is a MAJOR culprit in high crti etc. I believe you can take your HGB and multiply by 3 to get a rough idea of where your crit will be. Did they test that too or just HGB?

Stay hydrated.

Yes DYS there actually is HCT, after downloading the results, my PA called me and told me about the test and HGB so I wasn't aware of the crit value until downloading the panel. It shows 53.9%, ref. range 42 - 54. The HGB is directly proportional to the HCT, correct?

Pretty close yeah. Donate, take some baby aspirin and cialis and fish oil won't hurt either.

Sleep Apnea is huge when talking about RBC's. I had it so bad at one point I was getting TIA's. BP was 265/160. Spent a week in the hospital. If you have apnea, get a machine.

What did they say?

Said at first gonna try and lower my trt dose from 200mg/week to 100mg and see what happens....but gonna make sure I still feel ok after dropping that much,if not he said we could use another route

I didn't control for hydration, but a gram/day of naringin lowered my hematocrit from 51 to 46 over a 2 week period, which is the lowest it's been since starting TRT 5 yrs ago

Well my visit to the oncologist told me to cut back on my trt dose from 200mg/week to 100mg/week.....in a way I was relieved cause all my other blood test he done was normal,he took 16 vials of blood

I was thinking about this the other day as I too donate regularly to combat a high-normal crit.

If hematocrit is just a ratio of red cells to the rest of your blood, wouldn't you have to do a "double red cell" donation in order to lower crit? Wouldn't a regular "whole blood" donation just lower your overall blood volume but do nothing to change the ratio itself?


Like a pitcher of sweet tea that's too sweet, just pouring some out won't change how sweet the rest of it is.

Has anyone done before and after bloods, testing specifically for changes in crit?

Your body replaces the fluid volume quickly with water but replacing the rbcs takes time.. So it's like pouring off some of your sweet tea then replacing what you poured off with water.

That is great! It’s refreshing to see medical professionals actually working with their patients!
