A member asked:
Will my prednisone effect my hematocrit test like make it high
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be: It depends on why the hematocrit was low in the first place, certain autoimmune attacks of blood cells can be mitigated by corticosteroids. Not everybody on corticosteroids has their hematocrit increase. It would depend on many other things related to your health. Your physician could help clarify that.
