Has anyone heard of GLP's affecting hematocrit levels?

I saw a single article on it, but I can't seem to find any other information on it.

I just got my blood work back and my hemocrit levels aren't really any higher than they were off GLP1s.

Never heard of glps doing this. More of a testosterone or AAS thing.

Op... are you on trt?

After beginning try my levels have been slightly elevated, but immediately after dosing glp1 there tends to be a decrease in my hematocrit levels.

So the glps balance the slight raise in hematocrit from test? That's good cuz if you were banging 4 or 500mg test weekly it would be too high to donate blood after 6 or 8 weeks.

Went back over my hematocrit results:
3yr. on trt - @>50%
3mo. on glp1 - @45% & 46%
(2 total tests)

Dehydration can elevate hematocrit a bit due to hemoconcentration. If your albumin went up, too, that might have been the cause.
