It was alway the HCT and Hemoglobin (HGB) that mattered most when assessing his red cells.

No I don't think this is elevated for me Marlene. I probably shouldn't worry because I'm under a rheumatologist who will be able to work all this out himself. My Plasma Viscocity and CRP are both high and my total protein, IgG and IgA are all elevated. My ANA is positive and I have elevated RBCs. All the rest are in normal range. Thanks for reassuring me. I think it probably relates to autoimmunity but it's good to work things out for myself a bit.
