High dosages are usually the culprit and/or running a cycle too long...EQ is one that can raise RBC

I'm usually cruising on T&D, so I was concerned about my levels. I bought one of those meters, UIRT-12 off eBay and I'm usually the high side of normal, but nothing outrageous. I got a bit of grief the last time I donated, as I was above mid range after two months and not in the basement.

I'm starting a Tren cycle, so I'll need a story the next time I donate. :-)

AAs are well known to cause erythrogeneis either through stimulating renal production of EPO and/or by stimulating bone marrow to release more RBCs. Polycythemia (elevated RBC count) can be dangerous for the following reasons: The relationship between BP and viscosity issuch that, given a constant systolic BP, if blood viscosity increases, then the total peripheral resistance (TPR) will necessarily increase, thereby reducing blood flow. Conversely, when viscosity decreases, blood flow and perfusion will increase. Because of the dependence of systemicarterial BP on cardiac output and TPR, if blood viscosity and TPR rise,systolic BP must then increase for cardiac output to be maintained. Consequently, blood viscosity has been established as a major determinant of the work of the heart and tissue perfusion. Since increased viscosity requires a higher BP to ensure the same circulating volume of blood, both the burden on the heart and the forces acting on the vessel wall are directly modulated by changes in blood viscosity. In a nutshell, the thicker your blood is, the harder your heart has to work to keep it moving.

I'd look into donating blood if your HCT/HGB is not within normal limits.

My RBC and hematocrit are always great on deca better than when I just cruise. I don't know if this is the norm but for me it is always true. EQ can take you to dangerous levels.

EQ is another one

Anadrol was specifically made for that reason, to treat anemia.
