My hema is 54.4 Went to see a Hematologist and he set me up for this work up where they inject radiation in to blood to see if the % changes. Of course I did not tell him I was on anything. Let you know how the test comes out .
You know why your crit is up why are you seeing a hematologist?
Back in my heavier days my crit got to 55, I was referred to a hematologist and denied AAS use as well. I endured CAT scans and O2 tests sleep studies and a plethora of blood work. Only after the threat of a bone marrow biopsy, radiation treatment to kill off marrow and other more invasive tests did I fess up. The docs think you have polycythemia and the treatment is phlebotomy and or shutting down the bone marrow. In our case stopping the stimulus of RBC production is key and then reducing the mass through a few pints of blood. It took 8 pints to get me down to 45 over a month 2 pints aweek.
As I mentioned many times before androgens stimulate the kidneys to dope the blood-they make EPO which turns on RBC production from the marrow and there is no negative feedback mechanism it rises.
It's up to you guys if you want to be truthful or not or deal with it the only way it will go down-stay off the juice for 4 months and dontae blood.
then when back on avoid the drol eq deca and keep cycle doses lower and shorter and give blood 1-2 times a month.
High RBC's is dangerous to the kidneys and CV system as well as risk of strokes and clots.
Keep the clotting down with bromelain, ginger root, omega 3's and a baby aspirin. This won't reduce the volume of red cells or the damage from it but keep the clotting down so the problem of the stressor of high hematocrit is there-it's like having sandpaper in the kidneys and pumping that stuff through the body just tears it down.
To me high hematocrit is more dangerous than raised liver enzymes of high cholesterol on a cycle which can be fixed with the right supps but unfortunately this can't be fixed with anything but time off and removing the RBC cell mass.
