Got my bloodwork back and my hemotocrit was 53.2. Need to donate blood again.

Is there anything that can help that besides donating blood?

Donating is dumb according to a lot of the TRT docs. What’s yall thoughts on this?


My crit runs 50ish and donating hadn’t crossed my mind fwiw. High altitude areas walk around with hct well above that with no harm. Just my 0.02

bear in mind that if you're even a little dehydrated your hemotocrit can spike.

mine is routinely mid-50s but I live at over 9,000 ft elevation so that's a factor too - for me, not so much for you in Dallas. But with seveal consecutive labs showing mid-50s my provider (Defy) shows zero concern for my hematocrit levels.
