Would someone advise what are some causes of hemoglobin and hematocrit
levels being abnormally high? Would APS (a.k.a. Hughes Syndrome) cause this?

Also what are some of the causes for abnormally low MPV?

Thanks for your help,
LP

How high? Moderate elevation can be caused by dehydration and smoking.

According to a private poster, polycythemia can also cause high hemoglobin
and hematocrit levels, BTW.

So can a bunch of other stuff. So what? If you want a real answer, turn
off your computer and go see your doctor.
