Question: Can high altitude contribute to low hematocrit levels?

Below-are-ten-frequently-asked-questions-that-are-not-covered-in-the-article:_5_16

Answer: Yes, high altitude can contribute to low hematocrit levels. At high altitudes, there is less oxygen in the air, which can cause the body to produce more red blood cells to compensate. However, it can take several weeks for the body to adjust, and some people may experience low hematocrit levels as a result.
