elevated hematocrit levels for someone who does NOT take exogenous hormones indicates an underlying disease or health problems.
high hematocrit levels for someone that does take hormones that increase EPO is totally normal and not much of a concern.
if you don't want elevated hematocrit or RBC then you shouldn't take steroids. cause thats what they do and is part of there performance enhancing benefits
again, high hematocrit is a problem for people who do NOT take steroids. as it indicates an underlying health problem . your doctors blood tests and ranges were built and designed for normal people , not steroid users and athletes
