Hello,
New to this forum. Not exactly new to AAS use, but I'm not an expert by any means, either (I've only done four cycles so far).
Stats: 27 y/o 5'10, 215lbs, ~12% bf (guess). I am currently running a PPL split 6 days on / 1 day off, and I throw in about 30-45 mins of cardio 6 days a week (I take Saturday off).
I recently ran some blood work in preparation for my upcoming blast. I got some results back that were, quite frankly, unexpected. In the past my blood work has typically been all clear, mostly. I've historically had elevated Creatinine levels (1.39mg/dL). I've also had elevated AST/ALT levels and a low HDL in the past with a cycle that included some orals; however, that was nothing worrisome and cleared up a few months afterwards.
I've been on a cruise dose of 150mg/week Test-E (e3d injections) for the past 20-ish weeks now. I just got my blood work back and had some unexpected results. As I said before, my creatinine has historically been higher -- outside of the reference range (1.39mg/dL). My BW shows it at 1.60mg/dL now, and eGFR at 58 (which I know is not an *entirely* accurate assessment, given that it is estimated off of Creatinine levels). I know that those with greater muscle mass tend to be on the higher side of the Creatinine scale. But the 1.60 is higher than what I normally am. I don't consider myself extremely muscular by any means, so I am unsure whether the figures would be skewed that much just due to my muscle mass.
Another point that is worrying me is the AST/ALT and Bilirubin. AST & ALT are 80 & 60 respectively, and the Bilirubin is at 2.4mg/dL (more than twice that of the far end of the reference range). I'm not sure what to make of any of this. I haven't been experiencing any liver-related symptoms or otherwise. I have been more heavily focused on cardio work during this cruise. From what I've read, it appears that AST/ALT could be higher due to increased cardiovascular workout volume?
Also noticed that my WBC is low -- which is very odd. At this point I am not sure what to make of any of this. I don't have high blood-pressure or any symptoms that would indicate something is wrong, and I know that symptoms don't tell the entire story.
For what it's worth, I was fasted for the bloodwork. But I had done some moderately intense cardio the day before. I would imagine the effect of that would be marginal at best, but I'm not sure.
Maybe it is time a see a doctor?
Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
