Hematocrit Predicts Long-Term Mortality in a Nonlinear and Sex-Specific Manner in Hypertensive Adults

The increased risk of death attributed to higher hematocrit was seen in men and women irrespective of their achievement of _target blood pressure, indicating that the risk is independent of the effect of hematOCrit on blood pressure.

Association of high serum creatinine and anemia increases the risk of coronary events: results from the prospective community-based atherosclerosis risk in communities (ARIC) study.

It is indicated that high Scr is associated with almost a threefold risk of CHD among middle-aged people with anemia, whereas no increased risk is found in people with high ScR in the absence of anemia.

Anemia as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in diabetes: the impact of chronic kidney disease.

In persons with diabetes, anemia is primarily a risk factor for adverse outcomes in those who also have CKD, and whether the risk is modified by the presence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is evaluated.

High Hematocrit Levels Are Associated with Risk of Cardiovascular Mortality among Middle-Aged Japanese Women: The Ibaraki Prefectural Health Study (IPHS).

This study is the first one to demonstrate an association between high hematocrit level and risk of AMI mortality in younger Japanese women, but not in men and older women.

Hemoglobin levels and coronary heart disease risk by age, race, and sex in the reasons for geographic and racial differences in stroke study (REGARDS)

Hemoglobin is an independent risk factor for CHD in whites and blacks but with different hemoglobin concentrations conferring different risks, and this association differed significantly by race but not by sex or age.

Hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit and red blood cell count predict major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia.

Predictive value of elevated white blood cell count in patients with preexisting coronary heart disease: the Bezafibrate Infarction Prevention Study.

Elevated WBC count in patients with chronic CHD was associated with higher long-term risk of all-cause mortality, and this excess risk of mortality was not due to cardiac causes.

Relation of Hematocrit Values to Coronary Heart Disease, Arterial Hypertension, and Respiratory Impairment in Occupational and Population Groups of the Athens Area

It is concluded that high Hct values as an indirect measure of increased blood viscosity seem to be related to CHD and AH, and RI is correlated with high HCT values.

The data suggest that an elevated haematocrit is an independent risk factor for stroke and that it interacts synergistically with elevated blood pressure.

The combined effect of smoking on the cardiovascular risk factors studied may explain part of its influence on peripheral and coronary arterial disease, but the majority of the effect appears to be due to other mechanisms.
