What blood work do folks usually get to check how things are going post cycle?
Lipids, liver, test (all three levels), estrogen, and blood sugar? Anything I'm missing? Going to the doc this week to get things checked out, and I want to be prepared just in case he's not sure.
Thanks folks.
You would get the same bloodwork done as pre and during your cycle.
Listed below is a complete set of comprehensive bloods:
Hormonal
Total Testosterone
Free Testosterone
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Prolactin
Leutilizing Hormone (LH)
Estradiol (E2)
Progesterone (P4)
Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEAS)
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
Kidney Function
Creatinine
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GMR)
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
Uric Acid
Liver Function
Albumin (ALB)
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALK PHOS)
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT)
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST or SGOT)
Total Bilirubin (TBIL)
"Routine Bloods"
Complete Blood Counts (i.e. Reb Blood Cells (RBC), Haemoglobin (Hb), White
Blood Cells (WBC), etc.)
Electrolytes (i.e. Sodium (Na), Potassium(K+), etc.)
Lipids (i.e. Triglycerides (TAGS), Total Cholesterol (TC), High-Density
Lipoprotein Cholersterol (HDL), etc.)
Of course you may not get them all done. You should be concerned mostly with your hormonal (especially total and free testosterone, estradiol and SHBG), liver, and kidney function results.
