I would mainly be focused on the hemoglobin level and the hematocrit level (to a slightly lesser degree). Donate blood if eligible, preferably a double red, and then ask your Dr. to pull a CBC and check your Vitamin D level.
My hemoglobin and hematocrit generally run high even pre-TRT. Also, just to throw the information out there, I was potassium depleted at my last labs (the lab work referred to it as being at a "panic" level) and I have to now take KlorCon M20 tabs twice daily. I'm on a supposed "potassium sparing" diuretic as part of some treatment from past cardiac issues( non- AAS related).
Anway, if your potassium to sodium ratio is off, it can affect your blood pressure.
Edit: As Mr. BB pointed out heavy lifting can elevate liver enzymes and a couple of others. My last ALT,AST, and BUN came back slightly elevated (creatinine was in range) but my Dr. knows I am a frequent lifter and wasn't overly concerned with it. Also, I ran my labs past a couple of guys that have a lot of experience with the same issues and they said the same as well.
You can run a quick Google on "elevated liver enzymes and heavy exercise" and there are several studies that show liver enzymes can stay elevated up to a week post-exercise.

There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...
