Find a Blood special: A Blood specialist (hematologist) can help you best. Your medical doctor needs to first make a diagnosis ( find the cause of high hemoglobin). You might have a condition called Polycythemia which can be diagnosed with proper blood tests and then a treatment can be recommended. Removal of blood has to be arranged by a doctor but first we must establish the correct diagnosis.Tell us your age also.
