    Treading carefully.

    Hi fellas,
    did my first cycle earlier this year,which consisted of 200 deca and 400 test.Fairly reasonable results,nothing spectacular.
    Decided to get bloodwork done,and now have the results.Unable to discuss it with my doc yet,but seeing her later this month.
    Everything appears to be in range,apart from 3.My Gamma GT is 88,where normal range is 0-70,my eGFR is 83,where
    normal range is 90-120,and my Red Cell Distribution Width is 17.9,where normal range is 12-15.
    I've had a look on the net,and it concerns my liver and kidney function apparently.It also said,the best way to get
    these figures,back in range,is to reduce alcohol consumption.Hmm that's fine,but i don't drink!
    The main reason,i wanted my bloods doing,was to find out what my natural test levels were.
    They've come back as 13.4,where the supposed range is given as 5.0-31.0.
    Again,i've looked on the net,and it seems (if i'm reading it right) i have the test levels of an 85-100 year old!

    Thoughts welcome.

    What oral drugs did you or are you taking. Test and Deca shouldn't have effected your liver or kidney values. Your hematocrit yes, but should be back to normal. When did you stop the cycle and did you do a PCT?

    It's not uncommon for kidney function to be out of whack after taking aas, my GFR, BUN, and creatinine were all out of range when I was on test and deca although I threw in a tad bit of drol.

    I take a soluble painkiller regularly,plus an anti depressant.I've heard the painkiller can be detrimental,if taken for
    long periods,so i'll speak to the doc to discuss this.
    I finished my cycle in April,and did the standard Clomephine-Tamoxifen pct.

    Yeah,i was wondering if it was down to the cycle.
    My Creatinine was 83,and the range is 60-105,so that looks fine.

    Years ago I had a scare with my kidney levels. Everything was out of range. The gp sent me to a specialist. He looked at the numbers and looked at me. Then said the base line levels are for someone who is 165-180 lbs with mild physical activity. Me being over 220 at the time and lifting insane amount my numbers were ok and I shouldn't worry. I took him at his word and left.

    Did they ever come back down or have they stayed in the 'elevated' state?
