Moral of the story one liter of blood doesn't do shit.
The approximate amount of blood volume that needs to be withdrawn to restore normal values can be calculated by the following formula:
ABV = Average Blood Volume (default = 70)
Hgbi (Hcti) = Hemoglobin initial
Hgbf (Hctf) = Hemoglobin final (desired);
So, for a 70 kg (154 lbs) man (multiply lbs x 0.45359237 to get kilogram) with an initial high hemoglobin of 20 mg/mL who needs to have it brought down to a normal hemoglobin of 14 mg/mL, the calculation would be:
CC of blood volume to be withdrawn = 75 x 70 x [20 — l4]/[(20 + l4)/2]
= 75 x 70 x (6/17) = approximately 1850cc;
One unit of whole blood is around 350 to 450 cc; approximately 4 units of blood need to be withdrawn to decrease this man’s hemoglobin from 20 mg/mL to 14 mg/mL.
So if you plug my values in you come up with 3026cc; approximately 7 units of blood need to be withdrawn to normalize my hemoglobin and hematocrit.
I have an appointment with a Hematologist this Friday. Endocrinologist is flipping the fuk out wants to take me off Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) I said lets see what hematologist has to say. I am guessing his dx is going to be polycyhemia vera with therapeutic phlebotomy as the treatment.
I see alot of guys here that think that they can donate at the Red Cross and that is gonna fix there lab values.
My doses are considerable low compared to what some guys are taking here.
If you want to freak the fuk out check out Austinite pick of his blood with a Hematocrit of 55 scared the fuck out of me. When it comes to blood work he's the man really knows his shit.
I think everybody agrees that the end goal is our health and to be safe.
Let you guys know what hematologist has to say.
