This makes sense, but perhaps because they have underlying risk factors a clotting risk in the first place not because of hematocrit per se, but platelet dysfunction...why else would they be on blood thinners?Definitely both increase thrombotic risks
Is it safe for men with history of PE and on blood thinners to start testosterone ?
There are no published studies conducted on men with a history of pulmonary embolism (PE) who are taking blood thinners and want to use testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). However, they do provide a broad overview of the relationship between TRT and the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE)...www.excelmale.com
