[Blood sugar and the hematocrit: relation to acclimatization at 4560 m. altitude].
We had intended to study the relation between glycemia and hematocrit during high altitude acclimatization (Morococha, Peru-4560 m) and to observe if, subsequently to an increase of hematocrit, glycemia should become lower. From obtained results upon 176 hematologic observations of glycemia, hematocrit, hemoglobin and erythrocyte production, on 38 healthy European subjects (27-58 years aged), it doesn't result, from the first analysis, the existence of this relation. We reserve ourselves, in any case, to accomplish further tests, such as insulinemic dosage for evaluating pancreatic activity.
