Lab results: An elevated Hemoglobin and Hematocrit (h &h) with elevated platelets are commonly associated with dehydration. There other conditions that raise the h&h like polycythemia vera, hemochromatosis, sleep apnea, chronic obstructive lung disease, testosterone use. The platelets can rise from infection, anemia( which is not consistent with a high H&h), and other blood conditions. Speak to your doctor.
