What causes high Hematocrit and low Phosphate?

High Hematocrit and low Phosphate can be caused by many reasons.

If your Hematocrit is in between 40 % and 50 % and your Phosphate is in between 2.4 mg/dL and 4.5 mg/dL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Hematocrit and Phosphate respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

• Damage to the bone marrow
• Kidney failure
• Excessive destruction of red blood cells
