Especially, ask your physician whether you have beta thalassemia minor. It's common and a non-problem, but it's worth knowing since if you marry someone else who has it, you may have a child with thal major which is very serious.

Question 4

I have high levels of hct and hgb what could that mean? i have always had cold fingers and toes with a bluish look to them. i also have hypoglycemia.

Accepted Answer

Elevated HGB and hct are called polycythemia.  This can be caused by any condition that causes low oxygen levels in the blood such as heart or lung disease, or it may be caused by bone marrow problems.  In any event, with your bluish fingers and toes pointing to low oxygen, you should see a doctor about this.

Question 5

What does it mean if you have high hematocrit?

A high hematocrit indicates that one has too many red cells (polycythemia). There are many different causes of this condition, some of them potentially serious, so it is always important to have this problem evaluated by a hematologist.

Question 6

Dehydration means not enough water in your body. If your red cells are the same, the Hb and Hct will show a higher concentration. PV or polycythemia vera, is when your body produces too many red blood cells. It can be caused by cancer, smoking, or sleep apnea.

Question 7

What's the difference between hematocrit level and pcv level. at what point are they too high for a man?

This measures the volume of red blood cells in a blood specimen. The spun or centrifugal hct/pcv is directly measured rather than calculated. If the values are high you are considered to have polycythemia which can be either primary or secondary. This needs a detailed evaluation to determine the cause of excessive numbers of rbcs..
