Just received my lab results

[BWayne]

New to this and got my bloodwork completed by my primary care doctor. I have been going through them I did notice my LDL number is a little high. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Is this precycle bloods? Not seeing a lot of the info I look for as far as before or during aas cycle. Truthfully the only thing I see that you got tested is your lipids (not really necessary) and hemocrit. levels.
We look for
Lh
Fsh
Estradiol
Testosterone serum

Also, I wouldn't be going to my primary care DR for this. Precycle is ok I guess but not during or after.

Creatinine is elevated. You may be eating too much protein which is hard on your kidneys. Or you are in the early stages of kidney damage.

Your LDL is too high. You need to clean up your diet and eat more soluble fibern and/or consider getting on a statin.

Why didn't you look at your hormones?

i would never figured that someone maybe eating too much protein. I'm curious about that, i thought that as you grow more that the muscles require more protein for sustainment and growth. but based off his labs, elevated creatinine you suggest that might be the issue. I'm just looking for you to shed some light on this topic about too much protein and also kidney damage. seeking knowledge for better understanding.

Elevated creatinine can also be a sign of dehydration or can be the result of intense training. It's basically showing that your kidneys are a little bit taxed. Megatron is basically giving you the worst case scenario that it could be early stages of kidney disease and that you should monitor it. Better safe than sorry.

When I called the dr the told me that they were going to test for my hormone levels. I plan on calling them today that is what the sent me yesterday for the results. I changed my diet about 1.5 weeks ago, I was eating a ton of red meat and taking additional creatine. I am now eating mostly chicken and fish, and switched to a pre-workout that contains some creatine. I was planning on running my first cycle October 1 do you think the creatine levels are dangerous?

I do workout with a lot of intensity a few days a week could that be the cause of this?

Far too many variables. You could try taking a few days off from the gym, and drink plenty of water before your next blood work to see if that lowers it.

Yes, this is precycle bloodwork.

False Estimates of Elevated Creatinine

Thanks for the comments. I talked to a nurse today and she thinks cutting out the extra creatine supps, and the fact I have been cleaning up my diet should help. I plan on getting them redone in a few months.

Your body needs a finite amount of protein. Eating more protein than that amount just means the kidneys are being forced to work harder.

MBB is right. I should have crafted my response better. Sorry.

 

[Moppy1]

Your in pretty much perfect health based on your blood work. No worries.

With a 3,000 calorie per day diet I seem to be hitting around 200-250g of protein per day. Does this seem about right? It it is too high, how do you eat that many calories per day and keep it lower?

 

[3J]

seems like you just need to clean up your diet and get some more exercise in.. your lipids will even out..

 

[Mprtz]

Those lipid levels are nothing to worry about if you don't have diabetes or existing cardiovascular disease.

You certainly don't fall under the new guidelines for prescribing statins:

Thanks nothing existing, thanks for taking the time to look it over.

 

[BWayne]

Yes, this is precycle bloodwork.

The nurse told me that my testosterone level/Vitamin D level/and TSH are still pending.

 

[BWayne]

This is what i received for my Test levels:

TSH 1.78

TESTOSTERONE 570.9 mg/dL
