As
I was sitting authorising dozens (hundreds)
of blood counts I found one with a raised haemoglobin and haematocrit.
Massively raised. Epically raised. This is quite unusual at the best of times,
and then I found another. Two?
Both
were from the endocrine clinic. Both were on testosterone supplement therapy.
I
didn’t realise that a recognised side effect of testosterone supplement therapy
is a marked increase in red cell production to that extent.
You learn something new every day… (you really do – it’s called CPD – that’s why writing it down is so important!)
