+ 2 Questions about AST/ALT

ad

Recently just had a metabolic panel done. I do know that intense lifting can skew and raise liver failures but can a hard leg day the night before this test really raise my AST/ALT this much? No orals In play here either all that I was taking was 750 test and 400eq at the time of the test. Any feedback is greatly appreciated

Yep! My alt is always high if I train within a few days of bloods.
My last set I hit a big back session 36 hours before and my body was in bits and alt come back at 90 but bilirubin, alp and ggt were in perfect range. I don't think my alt has ever been shown as in range.
Hydration can also be a big factor

How have the kidney markers come back? Sometimes creatnine and egfr markers can also be off for the same reason.

As said below, GGT really should be in your panels, you can tell your doc you lift hard and they should be happy to add GGT to your routine bloodwork. I often find myself just out of range (50's) even during TRT, just from my lifts.

That said, while lifting heavy will raise AST and ALT out of range, typically not above 100... 100 is the unofficial limit where you start to consider actual liver damage is in the early stages.

I'd drop your cycle down to TRT and try to figure out what's going on. Get re-tested, skip all workouts for 48 hrs prior, and see if these levels drop or stay above 100.

I don't workout at least 48 hours before blood draw. Even on Anavar at 50mg/day for 5 weeks my AST was 27 and ALT 57. Working out can definitely makes these numbers go up, but did you also drink any alcohol or take Tylenol?

No to alcohol and no to Tylenol. This is why I am so confused

My AST/ALT were around the 165/101 after too long of an anavar cycle, but my GGT was a 9. This was while taking 1200mg tudca and 2000mg NAC. Like what Coach Ken below said, GGT will give you a better picture. Helps identify hepatobiliary/bile-duct involvement, particularly when ALP is elevated.

You should have GGT checked as well when getting these panels, more definitive marker of the liver function. But if youre not already, add TUDCA to your supp stack for piece of mind.

But id check ggt before getting worried too much
