Blood drawn on 12/30/08 on day 13 of cycle and was at 40mg at the time.
MD usually calls if numbers are off and he didnt call.
Today I went there to get a copy since I want to go 5-6 weeks on this cycle at 40mg since I dont have any sides at present.
Im glad I went in because there were some abnormalities (not intense but changes) from my last bloodwork which was in 9/08.
I dont have the liver/kidneys numbers from the 9/08 results only the lipids.
Heres the lowdown:
Lipids:
Before/After are the numbers here:
HDL: 103 now 29
Cholesterol: 200 now 101
LDL 90, now 61
Triglycerides: 87, now 67
Chol/HDL Ratio: 3.48 (dont know before) but its normal
Kidney/Liver:
BUN: 31 HIGH--- normal 7-25
AST 56 HIGH----normal <37
Other Kidney/Liver tests were normal.
These include Bilirubin Total and Direct, Creatinine
Everything else was normal.
BUN is often raised with increased protein catabolism, and increased protein ingestion which I did increase at start of cycle. Also BUN can raise with dehydration (Attention---more H2O!)
AST raising alone can mean the enzyme may be coming from another part of the body and not the liver.
Usually BUN, Creatinine go up together in kidney issues as do AST/ALT in liver issues.
(Yes I have a medical background but I discussed the results with my MD this evening and he wasnt concerned and thats why he didnt call.)
The levels are not that elevated and we will repeat them in 2 weeks.
I will continue on the cycle at 40mg but will increase H2O (how much more- I drink tons!) and add more Liver Support and more NAC to protect liver even more.
If the other numbers that go hand and hand with liver/kidney functions were high and 4 times higher, I would stop the cycle.
Now the Nolva (which I have) after the cycle will also have to be monitored, however I may forgoe it totally and do OTC PCT though Im not for that route. I think a SERM should be done here and not a OTC.
Well just wanted to share this with you all.
