Albumin low levels
ad
Is there anything to take to improve this?
I feel fine and actually better than ever.
But this is a serious thing I'm told. Is just recently as well.

I won't be taking hgh again either.
That was more harm then good.
So much for my 14 boxes of serostim. Lol
If you were UK based I'd take them off you :-)
Lol yeah.
I'll be there soon but can't exactly take them
It's not really a problem carrying into the UK for personal use but I guess 12 kits may be considered more. Probably more of a problem taking them out of the US.
Hgh can be progressive...that's it nature...you'll get rid of them...don't worry bro
Most common causes are malnutrition and severe inflammatory response. Possible solution within the causes there.
Interesting. Today I'm getting rechecked so I'll get levels from last time to compare this time.
I greatly appreciate you guys...
what is your actual albumin level? How far below normal is it?
ten day difference (retest)
Albumin 2.8 to 3.2
Ast 97 to now 131
Alt. 108 to now 159
Ck levels:
7/6 (2378)
7/18 (966)
7/29 (1834)
The enzymes have been much much higher before.
Start an OTC liver supp...someone mentioned this already...
What's sodium and chloride?
My albumin was down to 2.7 and the doc didn't seem to worried about. Back up to 3.9 now. I wouldn't be to concerned about your current level.
Thank u
I will look once they send me my info to check stuff online
Thanks. Can you post your BF%, too?
What's your K+ level on your bloodwork?
K levels?
Potassium
Also, what is your HCO3- level...that's your bicarbonate...as well as CO2 level...all these levels should be on your CMP under electrolytes...
Co2 27
postasium 3.8
Can't find hco3
No problem on the hco3. Potassium needs to be 4.0...supplement foods rich in potassium...don't use any supps...CO2 is fine...you aren't metabolically acidodic...
Supplement fluid intake with gatorade and increase fluid intake daily and make sure you're getting 6-8 liters...
Thank u so much
De nada mi amigo...
Albumin is comin up and is very close to being in range. That potassium is in range but a bit low especially for someone who does heavy exercise and lifts. CO2 is fine but close to the upper level of the range. I see the Ck number above is now pretty high again (I see it's been even higher) and I wonder if you had been lifting for a few days before this test and not the previous one? Are the doctors not concerned about these levels? For me that would be my primary worry and I wonder if this could be indicative of a reason for the lower albumin levels? Heavy lifting could also explain your higher liver enzymes. I think you need more tests just to fully rule out kidney and liver issues. I would be looking at:
BUN
Full electrolytes
eGFR
GGT
Bilirubin
We are on the same page...
those up and down trends with CK and a history of higher CK...interesting...I know our fat cells are replaced q10d...interesting piece of the puzzle...
Yeap it's getting beyond me to be honest but I suspect the high Ck levels and the low albumin are related. Sure the docs will get to the bottom of it.
Bilirubin total 0.4 mg
Bilirubin, Direct 0.1 mg/dL
sodium 137
BUN. 12 mg/dL
Creatinine 1.17 mg/dL
(They don't do eGFR IF Creatine is normal)
these docs don't know bodybuilders.
I've already had ultra sounds on liver and kidneys as well.
This is a routine check for a pill on on (forgot to mention that)
Glad that's all good fella. I wish out the best of luck getting to the bottom of it and/or it resolving on its own as these things sometime do.
What's the pill, bro?
Truvada. (They give it to me as extra protection against hiv. It's a preventative. )
Looks like it mobilizes fat...and can cause a build up of lactic acid...
Hopefully it moves the fat to my outter calves and quad sweep. Lol
Lmao if that's the case I'll take some too
What is your bf bro?
I think it's 13 at moment.
Okay thank you sir...
You are post cycle one month. One thing that keeps coming up with my research for your situation is hormone-sensitive triglyceride lipase and it's function of triglyceride hydrolysis, which is very fast. Have you been using carbs for energy? If you havent, then the free fatty acids are affecting your albumin. Situations like this occur in diabetes and starvation.
In theory, I was under the impression your BF% was really low....
Are you on cycle now?
I think this guy needs carbs...what do you think
If he is on a normal diet after PCT, shouldn't be cutting or restricting cals during or shortly after PCT anyway, he should be Ok nutrition wise.
Carbs?
How many grams of carbohydrates are you eating daily and when are you eating them?
A month post
I think I remember some studies on leucine or Bcaa supplementation to support or improve albumin levels
What about essential amino
Leucine is essential, along with isoleucine, threonine, histidine, lysine, methionine, arginine, valine, phenylalanine,and tryptophan. These 10 essential amino acids aren't synthesized in sufficient quantities, or not at all, in the body.
I mentioned this because I take these.
Thank you buddy
Okay. That's good. Thanks.
Kidneys look fine. Liver enzymes are up but half of what they have been. Creatine kinase was very high though like 2000.
Are your liver values still elevated above normal? Were you taking any orals on your cycle? Liver stress can cause lowered albumin levels. Get your liver values back to normal and the albumin may follow.
My liver enzymes are always higher than normal.
But they were double High last time yet albumin was normal.
I tool tudca, beat root juice, lemon juice and something else ? to lower enzymes.
X2...I was initially going of the premise that his body fat was too low...probably from his avitar...
