I Have Been Told That I Have A High Hemotacrit

I have been told that I have a high Hemotacrit leval of 14.5%
a Theraputic blood draw was done afterwards the test was redone and the leval was up to 17.5%
can it be due to my body not adjusting to the new elevation of over 5ooo feet, i was checked for dehidration came back negative, and my bloodpressure is good.
