He shouldn't be donating all the time. What he should do is not test his RBC's anymore because it's only going to lead to anxiety when nothing is going to happen as a result of his isolated high hematocrit.
Have we seen any literature supporting that elevated HCT/RBC is not a clinical concern?
Generally, it would seem to be a risk factor, especially in the setting of symptoms; headaches, flushing, elevated BP, etc. Especially in someone who is not cardiovascularly fit. Obviously, there are worst things for your health like elevated BP, AAS abuse, sedentary lifestyle, obesity. So a very healthy male on TRT with +53% HCT is still ahead of 90% of the population.
