Comparison of values: A blood test can show volume depletion/dehydration, particularly if earlier blood test values are available for comparison.

How many blood draws in short period of time before volume depletion/shock becomes a real issue? I understand I'll be getting a test which requires like 30 tubes to be taken, then will get more tests for three consecutive days.
I have quite severe pots and would be interested in getting blood volume and renin tests. Possible? What kind of tests are these and what specialists would do them?
Hi, I had a test of blood the result was like this MEAN PLATELET VOLUME (MPV) 10.5 fL [6.4 - 9.7] MONOCYTES (ABS COUNT) 0.81 X10^9/L [0 - 1].?
If a blood test reveals that something is borderline high, does that mean something is unhealthy about you? For example: mean platelet volume = 13.0.
Recent blood test shows low indirect bilirubin (.08)+increased blood volume (99.7)+increased hematocrit (47.2)+high WBC (14,200). Huh?
