Hemoglobin

Hemoglobin tracks in parallel with hematocrit and reflects oxygen-carrying capacity. On TRT and AAS, it rises alongside hematocrit and provides a complementary view of erythrocytosis risk.

Unit
g/dL
Standard Range
13.5–17.5 g/dL
TRT Optimal
14–17 g/dL (TRT)
Common Issue on TRT / AAS

Hemoglobin above 18 g/dL on AAS is a significant red flag for blood hyperviscosity and should prompt dose reduction or phlebotomy regardless of hematocrit percentage.
