This is my lab work / Blood test from running sustanon 500mg , Eq 240mg , HCG 500iu a week , been running since April 2nd

I’m new here so don’t start crying about my mistakes .

Ordered from:

First things first welcome brother to our community. You’re doing your bloods good job, your numbers are mostly fine and you're tracking them, which is the right instinct. The other guys flagged the real things, so let me pull it together and since they’ve already done all the work.
First, the gap everyone's pointing at no test, free test, or E2. Infidel and Oscar are right, and it's worth addressing because it's the most important omission. You're running Sustanon (a test blend) and EQ, but there's no testosterone, free testosterone, or estradiol on this panel. Those are the central numbers for a cycle without your test level you can't confirm your Sustanon is dosing properly or where you're sitting, and without E2 you're flying blind on estrogen management (especially relevant since EQ affects your estrogen picture through aromatase competition, and Sustanon aromatizes). So whatever else, get test, free test, and a sensitive E2 on your next pullthat's the half of the picture that's missing, and it's the half that's most specific to running a cycle. Right now you've got the general health markers but not the hormonal ones that tell you how your cycle is actually going.
On the E2 test specifically and this is important because of the EQ. When you get your estradiol tested, make sure you request a sensitive (LC-MS/MS) assay, not the standard estradiol immunoassay Why? EQ causes a real problem with the standard E2 test. Boldenone produces estrone as a metabolite, and the standard immunoassay cross reacts with estrone and reads it as estradiol. So on EQ, the standard assay will come back falsely elevated, it'll show your E2 as high when your actual estradiol may be totally fine or even on the low side. If you test with the standard assay and see a scary-high E2 number, you could panic, crash your estrogen with an AI you didn't need. And end up with crashed E2 problems causing sides like joint pain, killed libido, flat mood, worse lipids (Estrogen actively helps the liver process cholesterol) all because the test was reading the EQ's estrone as estradiol. So the standard assay is actively misleading on EQ. The sensitive LC-MS/MS assay measures actual estradiol specifically and isn't fooled by the estrone, so it gives you the real number.
If you can't get a sensitive assay, go by symptoms instead of the number. If sensitive E2 testing isn't available everywhere. If you can't get LC-MS/MS, then don't trust the standard assay E2 number at all on EQ. You’ll need to manage your estrogen by symptoms instead, because your symptoms reflect your real estradiol regardless of what the corrupted assay says. The tells to watch. High E2 shows up as water retention/bloat (often most noticeable around the chest or nipples), puffy or sensitive nipples, and sometimes moodiness or higher blood pressure. Whereas low E2 shows up as achy or dry joints, low libido, low mood, and poor erections. So if you don't have access to the sensitive test, judge your estrogen by how you actually feel and look not by a standard E2 number that the EQ is inflating. Symptoms are the more reliable instrument when sensitive assay isn’t available. Only intervene with an AI if you're getting genuine high E2 symptoms, and even then go gentle and don't crash it.
Your AST is 78 (range to 34... actually your sheet says to 34, and one says 0-34, so 78 is more than double) and ALT is 87 (range to 49, so also well over). Both are elevated, ALT a bit higher than AST. fatsacksdaddy and Yuzy flagged this and they're right to. Now, the honest interpretation: you're not running any orals (Sustanon, EQ, HCG are all non-hepatotoxic in the way 17-alpha-alkylated orals are), so this isn't oral-driven liver toxicity. Elevated AST/ALT without orals is often substantially from training, AST and ALT are released from muscle, not just liver, so hard training, recent heavy sessions, or being new to intense lifting can elevate them. So some of this is likely muscle, not liver damage.
But here's the thing that makes it worth taking seriously rather than dismissing: AST and ALT being elevated together and both meaningfully over range is worth confirming the cause. Yuzy's suggestion to get a GGT is exactly right GGT is liver-specific, so it's the test that tells you whether this is your liver or just training. If GGT is normal, the elevated AST and ALT are most likely to training and your liver's fine. If GGT is up, then it's genuine hepatic stress and worth investigating. So get the GGT on your next pull, it's the single most useful add to clarify the liver picture, and it's cheap.
Your bilirubin fatsacksdaddy (love the username lol) flagged it and he’s right to. Your total bilirubin is 1.2 (top of range, range to 1.2) and indirect bilirubin 0.7. So it's at the upper limit but technically not over. Mildly elevated or high-normal bilirubin is very often benign, it can be Gilbert's syndrome (a totally harmless genetic variant where bilirubin runs high, very common, affects ~5% of people), or it can rise with dehydration, fasting, or alongside the liver enzyme picture. At 1.2 it's not alarming on its own, but combined with the elevated AST and ALT, it rounds out a picture of mild hepatic stress worth keeping an eye on. So fatsacksdaddy isn't wrong to flag watching it, paired with the enzymes, it's part of the "liver is showing some mild stress, confirm with GGT and recheck" story. If your bilirubin and enzymes are a consistent pattern for you, Gilbert's plus training is a common benign explanation, but the GGT helps confirm.
The kidney markers, Yuzy caught this and it's the other real theme: Your eGFR is 75 (mildly low under the typical 90 cutoff for "normal," though 75 isn't dramatically low) and your creatinine is 1.31 (just over the top of range at 1.30). Here's the crucial interpretation, and Yuzy's instinct to get cystatin C is spot on. Creatinine is unreliable in people with significant muscle mass, because creatinine is a breakdown product of muscle but if you're muscular, your creatinine runs higher and your eGFR (which is calculated from creatinine) reads artificially low, without your kidneys actually being impaired. So your "low eGFR" and slightly high creatinine may well be a muscle artifact, not real kidney dysfunction. This is extremely common in people who lift and run gear the standard creatinine based eGFR underestimates their actual kidney function.
The fix is exactly what Yuzy said, get your cystatin C tested. Cystatin C is a kidney marker that isn't affected by muscle mass, so it gives you a true read on your kidney function independent of how muscular you are. If your cystatin C-based eGFR comes back normal, then your kidneys are actually fine and the creatinine and eGFR were just the muscle artifact. If cystatin C also shows reduced function, then it's real and worth investigating. Your BUN at 10 and BUN/creatinine ratio are normal, which is mildly reassuring, and your potassium, sodium, and other electrolytes are fine, so there's no other sign of kidney trouble which makes the muscle artifact explanation more likely. But cystatin C will confirm it.
Putting the liver and kidney together it’s worth noting the blood panel are pretty good. Both your liver and kidney markers are mildly off in ways that are commonly explained by muscle mass and training, which is why the muscle independent tests (GGT for liver, cystatin C for kidney) are the right move to clarify both. There's a decent chance both are largely artifacts of being a muscular guy who trains hard, rather than organ damage but the only way to know is the muscle independent markers. Get both GGT and cystatin C, and you'll have a true read on whether either organ is actually stressed or whether it's the muscle distortion.
The reassuring stuff: Your CBC is essentially fine, WBC 10.2 (normal), RBC 4.74, hematocrit 38 and hemoglobin 12.7 (both on the lower side actually, no polycythemia concern at all interesting given you're on cycle, your blood's not thickening, that’s really bizarre). Platelets 257 (normal). Glucose 108 (very slightly up but basically fine, could be a non-fasted draw). Calcium, albumin, protein, CO2, chloride, anion gap all normal. CRP 0.8 (your inflammation marker slightly up but not dramatic, could reflect training inflammation). So outside the liver and kidney markers (which are likely muscle related), your overall panel is healthy. Your electrolytes and metabolic picture are solid.
Honestly mostly healthy panel, two mild themes and one gap. The gap is definitely no test, free test, or E2 get those next time, they're the most cycle-relevant numbers and you're missing them. The liver: AST 78, ALT 87 are elevated but you're on no orals, so it's likely from training get a GGT to confirm it's not your liver (GGT is liver-specific). The kidney (eGFR 75, creatinine 1.31) is mildly off but creatinine is distorted by muscle mass, so get cystatin C for a true read, there's a good chance your kidneys are actually fine and it's the muscle artifact. Your bilirubin at 1.2 is high-normal, often benign (possibly Gilbert's), worth watching alongside the enzymes. Everything else, blood count, electrolytes, glucose, metabolic markers is fine, and notably your hematocrit is low-normal so no thickening concern. The guys pointed you the right direction, GGT and cystatin C are the two tests that'll tell you whether your liver and kidney markers are real stress or just the muscle-mass distortion that's common in guys who lift and run gear. Get those plus your hormone panel next pull and you'll have the full, accurate picture.

2026 and we dont have digital or online access? Talk about some old school paper forms. Did you have to go pick it up and they snail mail your report? You can get a free cellular phone with a plan now you know with unlimited data. Im going to start crying about that comforter

The good news from this pic is we need more black people on eroids, I think it’s really just @Pumped_ tbh. And that deeman fella @press1 had a bromance with that went MIA.

Off a quick glance, liver enzymes, eGFR are somewhat alarming. Try to get that fasted blood sugar < 100. Rest look good.

Hematocrit of 38 is pretty low for being on ~750mg total of eq and test .

I agree. His egfr is low as well as his AST and ALT being elevated. I recommend getting a GGT and Cystatin C to paint the full picture.
