High hemoglobin count occurs less commonly because: 1  Your red blood cell production increases to compensate for chronically low blood oxygen levels due to poor heart or lung function. 2  You have a bone marrow dysfunction that results in increased production of red blood cells. You've taken drugs or hormones, most commonly erythropoietin (EPO), that stimulate red blood cell production. You're not likely to get a high hemoglobin count from EPO given to you if you have chronic kidney disease.
