The simple fixes is what im scared of cuz u dont expect them, my rbc is at 5.7, haemoglobin at 170, and hcrit at 0.52. GP said only rbc is elevated by 1 point, i found some bloods from last year may on ferritin which was on 100, if that makes any sense.This guy is spot on!
Ferritin levels and a CBC would really help. If you have been on exogenous testosterone for awhile the CBC will basically show you a history (if anemic) of how far you are in the tank. Iron saturation and total iron panels will give you piece of mind if Ferritin is tanked. These two tests are more short term, while a CBC will look at long term. If a shortage goes on for awhile Hemoglobin concentration and RBC size will be greatly reduced.
It sounds like a simple fix but it can be rather complex with someone on exogenous testosterone (look into >>Hepcidin, EPO and PPI's if on something for stomach acid).
And i remember i had bloods pulled 2 times in a month.
