blood test q's

**americanoak** · 04-19-2010, 07:29 PM

so i decided to get blood taken because I have been thinking aout doing a mild PH cycle and wanted before tests. It was also mainly out of curiosity, cause im only about 20/80 on the decision, the 20 being yes and 80 being no.

Anways I have a couple q's:
How do these numbers look?
Im mostly interested in my Test lvls, it doesnt say anywhere on my rsults my total testosterone , so im a little pissed, but w.e

I also had a bunch of other things on the paper as well, but i only am posting the following because everything else seemed to look pretty good..

My #'s: red ------ Reference range: blue

Albumin: 5.3 "HI" - - - - - - - - - -(3.2 - 5.2) < normal range, does this mean i need to drink more water?
BUN: 27 "HI" - - - - - - - - - - - -(7 - 25) < normal range
Alk Phos 86 - - - - - - - - - - - - (60-400)< normal range
Glucose: 95 - - - - - - - - - - - - (70-99)
Sodium: 141 - - - - - - - - - - - -(133-145)

Wondering how the above looks, what the "HI" ones mean and if the other ones are good, i put those because they are very close to the lowest the number should be or close ot the highest the number should be. Most o fmy other levels were pretty much in the middle.

Cholesterol ------------- 193----- (<200)
Triglycerides ------------76------- (<151)
HDL CHOL., Direct -------54-------(>40)
HDL as % of cholesterol--28-------(>25) "Below average risk" << it says that but not sure what it means
Chol/HDL Ratio ----------3.57-----(<4.2) "Below average risk"
LDL/HDL ratio -----------2.30 -----(0 - 3.55)
LDL chol. ---------------124 "HI" ... is this bad? says normal range is 100 but i also heard below 130 is good.. so idk

TSH:--------------------1.500------------(0.27 - 4.2 uIU/mL)
Testosterone, free, se: --13.0***
LH:----------------------4.8---------------(1.7 - 8.6 mIU/mL)
AFP: --------------------2.1-------------- (<8.3 ng/mL)
HCG , Quant:-------------<0.1------------- (<5 mIU/mL)

***
Testosterone Ranges------------------[Total ng/dL]-----[Free pg/mL]----------[% Free]
men (17yrs+)------------------------- 280 - 800 ----------------------------- 2.0 - 4.8
men (20-39)-------------------------------------------- 8.8 - 27.0 --------------------

Was wondering how my testosterone lvls looked n stuff, average? low? high?

I guess i should add in that I workout atleast 3 days a week, do cardio atleast 3 days a week, and am currently cycling carbs, 3 days very low (below 50), followed by a high (200+)
21
185
bf 10% give or take

Your albumin is high but nothing to be concered, you mite have been dehydrated when you took the test.

LDL is high, alot higher then mine actually, maybe watch it in the future

You should have gota a total test count but why you didnt im not sure.
Free Test is what really counts though, as large amounts of total test are bound to SHBG and with 13 your still normal.

yea i told the nurse everything i wanted so she must have been an idiot or something..

gonna see maybe ill get another test soon.
I looked up my LDL and it seems like it is close ot normal range. I found a site that said 130 n below is about normal, but below 100 is best. Not rly sure how i have high ldl tho
