Your body is reacting by making new cells which are small at first and because you already had good blood supply you also have plenty of mature larger blood cells. I personally think this would be a perfect case for therapeutic phlebotomy but I'm not by any means an expert in hematology
all his markers indicate LOW iron/ferritin.
high RDW and low mcv and MCHC = iron or folate or b12 deficient
if he donates he will lose evn more iron and worsen the issue.

Low MCHC means that the average red cell carries less hemoglobin. This could also be from so many fresh immature red cells and his is only a little low. If he was iron deficient he would likely be anemic with a low RBC hemoglobin and hematocrit. Iron supplementation wouldn't hurt anything but if he has an increase in hematocrit his blood is thick and he should donate. Looking at these numbers there is not a chance in hell that his blood isn't delivering enough oxygen to the tissue. Yes on average his cells are carrying a tiny bit less than they should but he's got extra cells and I truly believe that he likely has increased production of new red cells in response to the gear and those new cells are smaller and immature still therefore lowering all of the averages. This is further proven by the RDW that tells me he has large (likely mature cells) and small (likely new and immature cells). I would bet his homaglobin is elevated as well. That would prove beyond a doubt that the ability of his blood as a whole is providing sufficient oxygen. If he was anemic by evidence of low hematocrit I would likely agree but low iron does not present with polycythemia

Even with polycythemia vera (which is exty unlikely here) the treatment is still therapeutic phlebotomy and low dose aspirin

I would never take iron. It’s a heavy metal. Cupropeoteins regulate the RET (Reticuloendothelial iron recycling system). If anything donate, take dedicated liver caps, eat liver and take cod liver oil. The Vit A support’s cuproprotrines and the copper, well thats inactive and uses Vit A to produce active (ceruplasmin) copper.

Im conflicted now I was going to get tested for low iron to ensure that is the issue. Or should I donate blood? Im coming off to a cruise in 3 weeks I have been blasting for about 17 weeks with progressively increasing test and adding npp and orals. I feel great but I want to fix the issue before I start to feel the effects of either low iron or blood being to thick. What the best course of action here bros I appreciate all the input 2 from everyone just conflicted on what actions 2 take. How much of a risk am I at truly and what is the most important thing 2 take care of 1st?

We've got some good responses here so far and I appreciate them all however IMO we need the bigger picture to offer any solid advice.
I need to go back and read the entire thread and your original post....I've lost focus and forget why you posted in the 1st place.
IMO the "danger zone" is when high BP is combined with organ stress.
As AAS users we can expect specific health markers to be out of range. IME what's paramount is to identify as many variables as possible before making adjustments. This is why I've been asking questions like "can you post the ranges along with the results, what's your BP or resting heart rate, what's your stats like age, height, weight, bf%....these are all important factors and paint a broader picture than the 5 health markers you posted.
I love a good thought provoking thread so pls let's keep it going guys.

Are you symptomatic or just looking to educate yourself?
