Blood hematocrit question (hypothetical)?!
Question: Two weeks ago Elizabeth went to the doctor for her physical. The doctor told her she has to lose a lot of weight. She is 5'3" and weight 250lbs. Her blood work showed:
Hermatocrit is 60%
LDL is 300
HLD is 30
Blood Pressure is 195/85
restingheart rate is 80.
What does the hematocrit level mean and how do you bring it down?
I know that normal levels for women is 38-46%.

if you work on all the other things, like your cholesterol and blood pressure, the hematocrit level should come down too. you should be exercising at least 4-5 times per week and watching your food intake of cholesterol...that and the blood pressure are the most alarming numbers. it's amazing what a little exercise can do for you.
