I recently read your column in MD and decided to heed your advice and get some lab work done. I am a 35 year old male and this is my first cycle. I am in the 9th week of a 10 week cycle of deca (500mg per week) and Dbol (50mg per day) for the first five weeks. I made great gains and put on about 25lbs. My diet has been pretty clean, chicken, eggs, salmon, rice, oatmeal, protein shakes, etc... Not perfect but good.
So as far as the lab work I ordered a UA, CBC, and chem panel.
My liver enzymes were normal, UA was normal. The only abnormals were lipid pane and kidney fuction.
cholesterol, total 283
HDL 36
triglycerides 131 (normal)
LDL 221
BUN 29
creatinine 1.44
I know AAS effects lipid panel. Like I said this is my first cycle so does AAS affect lipids regardless of number of cycles, dosage etc...
I was surprised by the BUN and creatinine. What else can elevate those levels, dehydration (I usually drink 2-3 liters a day, most days), creatine supplemantation I do take NOxplode pre workout (pretty sure it has creatine)
So I was wondering if the elevated labs are just due to AAS or maybe the fact I am a 35 year old (no family history of high cholesterol either)
Any help or input would be appreciated. If you need any more info let me know.
Thanks
