+ 8 Pre PCT Bloods - Comments please

ad

Okay this is my first blood work ever, ill be taking them before and after every cycle now.. But as advised by multiple members it was a good idea to get one now.. Just to check everything due to a harsh 16 week cycle.

My PCT starts next week.. its been about 2 since my last sust shot.. and about 3 and half since deca.

Been running armidex 1mg ED since.

Heres what the Dr said about some of the levels:
- QUOTE -
The name of the test is on the left hand side of the page, your result is in the middle and the normal reference ranges to compare with are on the right hand side. Any results in red are outside the reference range but it does not always mean they are significantly abnormal.

The urea is raised at 9.0. Urea along with creatinine are measures of kidney function. However urea is a breakdown product of protein thus high protein diets can cause high urea levels and with normal creatinine levels there is unlikely to be a problem with the kidneys themselves.

Several tests were done to assess the liver. One of these were mildly elevated with alanine transferase at 74. These results suggest mild stress to the liver. Steroids especially oral 17 alpha alkylated drugs can cause this but this is expected to improve with time.

The CK was mildly raised at 521. This is a muscle enzyme and gets released when the muscle is damaged. Exercise has similar effects on muscles on causing microscoping tearing of muscle fibres which results in muscle growth. Thus a mild elevation in CK is common after exertion and not of significance.

The PHOSPHATE result of 1.53 is not of concern. There is no evidence of gout with normal uric acid levels.

The total cholesterol value is normal at 3.9 mmol/L. Current guidelines suggest an ideal cholesterol value is below 5.0 mmol/L. The LDL which is also known as the "bad" cholesterol is also normal at 2.3 mmol/L. The HDL which is known as the "good" cholesterol is within the normal limits which is beneficial. HDL is cardioprotective. If HDL is more than 20% of the total cholesterol, the risk of heart disease is less than average. Your HDL % value of 31% suggests a very low risk of future cardiovascular problems based on the lipid profile.

The testosterone level of 52.1 is significantly above the normal limits and confirms use of exogenous testosterone medication and if it is underground manufactured suggests it is adequately dosed. The prolactin level is normal and oestrogen levels are controlled as they are below the normal limit.

Any advice on my other levels is greatly appricated.

Thanks for posting bloods +1 You were a little dehydrated when you took these bloods increase your fluid intake. Here's a tip a high level of albumin indicates dehydration. Yours is at 49 max range is 50.

Just so you know weight lifting can cause a rise in ALT (Alanine Transferase)

lol maybe its tht dude in the other thread was butt-hurt about claiming HCG can not cause gyno, made him seem like less of a steroid-encyclopediac

Thanks for the advice, is it that serious?

How will donating blood solve it? Less means thinner?

Thanks for the concern, I got in touch with the doctor.

QUOTE BELOW.

"There is a condition called Erythropoesis/Polycythaemia where you can have too many red blood cells increasing the viscosity of the blood (ie making the blood thicker) as your friend states.

However your red blood cell count is normal so I am mystified why your friend has even mentioned it. Its not relevant to you.

RED CELL COUNT 5.52 x10^12/L 4.40 - 5.80 "

friend refers to you Biggrin

Yes.. Im having regular blood tests with the same doctor. He said untill it is outside the average range then there is no need to worry.. But said you are correct on how to deal with it.

future reference:

add total testosterone serum and estradiol. those are better to look at, as there are too many factors involved in free test and total estrogen (there are 4 estrogen hormones)

17beta oestradiol is what the europeans call E2

Thanks, will do.

How does the levels look regarding how hard im shutdown?

Doss's picture

For me, I'd have to see the gonadal levels (lh and fsh) so gauge how hard you're shutdown

thats what i wanted to see too. hematology look good all with normal range, everything looked pretty good to be honest. within normal to high normal. when i first looked the first thing i noticed was prolactin 272 i was like WTF! than i realized it wasnt in ng/ml lol

Doss's picture

Same here. Completely different set of values than I'm used to seeing.
