Pitfalls in interpreting red blood cell parameters in elite high‐altitude and sea‐level athletes: A unique case series

Abstract Standard routine hematological measurements are commonly used to investigate differences in blood parameters between high‐altitude athletes (HAA) and sea‐level athletes (SLA), and to monitor the effect of high‐altitude training. In this way, red blood cell (RBC) parameters are usually expre...
