Exploring changes in blood hormone levels with training volume, Häkkinen et al. (1987) found that a 2 - week period of high volume Olympic weightlifting led to increases in luteinizing hormone (LH), reductions in serum testosterone (T), reductions in serum testosterone - to - cortisol (T - C) ratio, and reductions in serum testosterone - to - sex hormone binding globulin (T - SHBG) ratio.

In patients with normal kidney function, oliguria can indicate dehydration, and the small amount of urine produced will likely be concentrated (urine specific gravity [USG] > 1.030).5 Other laboratory parameters that change with dehydration include packed cell volume and total protein (PCV / TP) levels, which demonstrate hemoconcentration (high PCV) and hyperproteinemia (high TP) in dehydrated patients5 due to the loss of the fluid portion of the blood as the body tries to maintain fluid balance and homeostasis.

In a similar fashion to the changes to the left atrium with certain left - sided heart diseases, diseases that primarily affect the right side of the heart (e.g. primary pulmonary hypertension, heartworm disease, tricuspid valve dysplasia, pulmonic stenosis) may reduce forward flow of blood into the pulmonary circulation and, again depending on severity, may lead to a build - up of volume and / or pressure within the right atrium which will also try to enlarge to compensate.
