Basic Bloodwork Panel Help

[kjscatch]

Any recommendations for online doctors/specialists to review a metabolic panel and point me in the right direction if you guys can’t.

First one I have ever done and I have some concerns. Or should I just go local medical clinic? Just feel like going to a specialist would be better. We just have a small medical clinic (town of 3700 people). I am 41.

I have high triglycerides (224) (the range is 25-150)

Low HDL (33) (the range is 40-60)

High GFR (CKD-EPI) BSA Adjusted (148) (range is 60-130)

High ALT (43) (range is 4-33)

high BUN/Creatinine (24.7) (range is 10-20)

Glucose is at 98 and 99 is the top range.

Frustrating because this is the lowest weight I have been in 4-5 years, just not a lot of lifting due to tennis elbow. Been eating pretty good too except for past 2 weeks due to vacations but maintaining my weight. Not drinking and getting quite a bit of water and electrolytes.

Any steroids / prohormones in play or this is just natural results but impacted by such? I'd honestly just see a doctor. The high GFR is usually a good thing , just means your kidneys are filtering really well. That said if your glucose has been trending up it can also be present in prediabetes. With a BUN / creatinine ratio of 24.7 the doctor will look to your diet and hydration. If you eat high protein it's drives that up , same if dehydrated. Was your absolute creatinine good? ALT can be high for you to 5 days after heavy lifting. I'd take a break and retest. You are missing a,lot of other cholesterol data to comment very well on your slightly low HDL. I used to have high triglycerides but they have normalized with significant weight loss. Overall like I said your best to see a Dr who can consider the whole picture

You run any cycles recently or is this just a normal natural reading. What are the variables if any, he pretty much covered everything in the post above so I'm just piggybacking off of him.

Was your bloods/glucose taken fasted?

Big question here is were you fasting when the sample was taken. You should have been on at least an 8 hour fast. The numbers will be skewed if not. It's worth testing again while fasting. if the numbers are around the same it would be worth talking to a doc
