Lab Results

[jjalison]

Attached and posted are lab results that I just had done.
Just thought I would share. Feel free to comment.
41yr old, Male.
HGH 10IU ED for 4 months, backed down to 5IU ED last 2 months. Plan to maintain 5IU ED going forward.
T4 100 ED
2 weeks. Test C 375 a week and EQ 600 a week.
5'11" 226lbs, 8%BF (yes I am a chubby bubby)

Lowered HGH to 5IU out of concern for high IGF-1 levels.

First number is level, second number is range (much easier to read as attached pdf)

IGF-1
.
According to the American Urological Association, Serum PSA should decrease and remain at undetectable levels after radical prostatectomy. The AUA defines biochemical recurrence as an initial PSA value 0.2 ng/mL or greater followed by a subsequent confirmatory PSA value 0.2 ng/mL or greater.
Values obtained with different assay methods or kits cannot be used interchangeably. Results cannot be interpreted as absolute evidence
of the presence or absence of malignant disease.

Vitamin D?

[jjalison]

I could definitely get more vitamin d. I average maybe 350iu per day. Thanks

Thoughts on my IGF-1 levels or anything else?

[kelkel]

If that's a correct BF% at your height and weight it is not fat at all. Quite the opposite. So I'm confused with your chubby comment.
Curious why so much GH? What are your goals with it?
Any comments from your doc on your low TSH level? It's can be indicative of hyperthyroidism, especially if combined with an elevated T4 reading. Yours is still in range.

350IU is nothing. Get it checked.

Agree with kelkel. What are you trying to do?

5'11" 226lbs, 8%BF (yes I am a chubby bubby)

Either you meant 18% or it was meant as a joke?

[jjalison]

It was meant as a joke. At this point I am really just trying to hang onto what I have and maybe gain another you know more more more 5 lbs. I am 41 now and coming up on 42 soon. I do have concern regarding my TSH levels. Going to see the Doc on Tuesday, they had forwarded me a copy of the results and wanted to get input here first.

Doing blood work again at the end of this month and will have Vit D checked at that time. Going to cut back on my T4 100 ED down to 100 EOD. Thoughts?

[kelkel]

Get the blood work listed in the Finding A Doc sticky thread. Be sure you get a full thyroid panel. At a minimum TSH, FT3, FT4, RT3 T3 & T4 as well as Antibodies.
Agree with cutting back on T4. A thyroid scan (iodine) may be prudent.
