This podcast episode from ExcelMale.com provides an extensive overview of high hematocrit, a condition involving an elevated percentage of red blood cells in the blood, often associated with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). It explains what hematocrit is, its normal ranges, and why TRT can lead to increased levels, detailing the risks of high hematocrit, such as blood clots and stroke. The text also explores whether hematocrit can stabilize with long-term TRT and, most significantly, offers multiple strategies to lower high hematocrit, including blood donation, dose adjustment, hydration, and addressing underlying health issues like sleep apnea. Ultimately, it emphasizes the importance of monitoring hematocrit levels to mitigate cardiovascular risks for individuals on TRT.
