What does it mean if you have high hematocrit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Polycythemia: 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.
