Polycythemia - 24 y.o. Man on Deca-Durabolin & Testosterone - Diagnosis & Management

Polycythemia (increased red blood cells) and high iron are common on androgens, especially deca-durabolin and equipoise. But when is it a problem? What are the risks that make it a problem? In this video I answer these questions in the context of a case study: a 24 year old man who added deca-durabolin to TRT. His levels were normal on TRT, but increased on deca to levels associated with androgen induced erythrocytosis - technically not quite true polycythemia. However his iron levels increased significantly to 85% saturation which can affect the heart’s electrical system in dangerous ways. I cover how I diagnosed this, assessed his risks, and managed the condition. If you’ve seen changes in your CBC or iron on androgens or are considering them, please watch this video!
