I did a bloodwork in april when I switched from finasteride to dutasteride. I had another a blood test a month ago. It looks like some blood values have changed noticeably.
Before:
B-Hemoglobin 15,6 ref. 13,4 - 17,0
B-Hematokrit 0,48 ref. 0,40 - 0,50
After:
B-Hemoglobin 17,4 ref. 13,4 - 17,0
B-Hematokrit 0,54 ref. 0,40 - 0,50
That's like a f*****g 6% increase in hematocrit and 11% increase in hemoglobin. The doctor said it was nothing major on the last blood test. Some sources I find on the internet find hematocrit up to 54% within the limits,
I don't know if I should feel concerned or not, cause I suspect the change is because of the change from finasteride to dutasteride and adding a low dose arimidex to battle the sides.
Maybe I was hydrated the first time and dehydrated the second? Maybe I should do another one and check my testosterone and estradiol?
