    red blood cells

    So i went to the doctor and did some blood work for non related AAS issues. They called back and said my red blood cells are 720 million and the normal would be around 500 million. I just got off a deca /test cycle and have been cruising for a month at 200 test C. Why would they be so high, and what health risk should i worry about?

    thanks guy

    It's high because of the gear, steroids increase your red blood cell count.

    If you let it get too high you can face blood clots and other nasty stuff so give blood every once in a while to lower it.

    If you're off the gear it should go back down in a few months but I'm not sure how much it'll go down of how long it will take if you're on 200mg of test a week.

    Best way to get it down is donate blood.

    Yea, gear can cause this increase. It could also be a genetic condition like polycythemia or hemochromatitosis. In that case your doc should tell you to give blood a couple of times a year. In addition, it could be liver related. Did your liver enzymes come back elevated?

    It is a good idea especially for guys on gear to give blood every 55days or whatever their time frame is. You dont want yor Red Blood cells getting to high. It also helps keep the blood thinner and less stress on the heart pumping it.

    Gear can cause something called polycythemia(sp?}. You might want to consult an MD.

    interesting...why have you not heard of this? most steroids cause red blood cell count to rise pretty drastically...depending on the person of course
