A member asked:
My 16 yr old son had an 18.6 hemoglobin today and they are sending him for more test.. what would be the cause for the hemoglobin to be high?

More data?: A sensible answer would need more information. What was his hematocrit? His rbi count? His WBC count? Without those the single number for hemoglobin is not helpful.
