blood test results

[mike js]

Hey guys, I'm new to the board and need some advice. Just got back the results. Worried. Currently on cycle.

ast 103 norm is <45
alt 108 norm is <45
ggt 17 norm is <75

Also ran CK; it was 1,739! norm is 24-195. I don't think I've had a heart attack or have a muscle wasting disease. Should I clean up and rest for a while? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Mike

thx bro

how soon were the tests done after your cycle and how much oral meds were used?
Did you work out before the blood draw?

 

[mike js]

Still on bro. No orals. cyp, prop, deca, arim & proscar. Trained 4 consecutive days prior but not including the day of blood draw; drawn early in the morning. I understand pin sticks can also raise ck levels also. did that the night before.

This thread......http://www.healthandfitnesstalk.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36750 should help explain the liver value numbers and why you should not be overly concerned with them, as for the CK , I'll leave that to someone more experienced in that area.

IMHO get clean. I do think that everything will resolve with time

Continued elevated liver values are not a good sign.
The standard range for liver values wasnt just made up- it has to exist for a reason, that being that that particular range of values is usually consistent with a reasonably healthy liver. While many on this board seem to wish to discount modern medicine as much as possible, probably to comfort themselves that their gear use isn't 'that bad', I'd take those values seriously

One problem- with liver damage, AST and ALT usually rise one to one- meaning elevated values of both are worse news than elevated values of just one.
BTW- Decca has been linked to liver problems. I read this while searching the internet for info on steroids and liver health, and remember reading that while injectible test has not been linked to liver problems, someone using decca developed a liver abcess.

How are you cholesterol and triglyceride levels? If those are not good, and your liver AST or ALT is high (not sure which one, but both of yours are) , you could be storing fat in your liver.

My liver values have risen consistenly over the last year. My cholesterol and triglycerides are way out of whack as well. I have lots of anadrol on hand, but will lay off of them until I get another blood test and see what is going on.
