Congestive heart failure causes increased hemoglobin. When the underlying cause is anemia; the body will respond by increasing production of red blood cells (RBCs); withe a responding increase in hematocrit (the percentage of red blood cells in whole blood). Increased RBCs leads to increased hemoglobin levels.
