Blood Work Results.. any insight?

New member
I just got my blood work results back. I was hoping if there was a Dr on the site they could tell me what they mean.
I'm 6'3" tall and 228 lbs at 32 y/o.

Does anything stick out that would create a low sex drive?
 
Your blood work looks good to me. All your Cholesterol levels look good. Your total Testosterone level is right in the middle of where it should be; 260 -1000 ng/dl is normal range. What exactly is the problem you are having.
 
I won't have a chance to have a good look at your test results till late tonight but your ALT values are very high. Just a couple of questions for you:

1) Have you just come off a cycle?
2) Are you taking any other medications which may affect your liver?
3) Is your alcohol consumption very high?
4) Do you have any of the follwoing symptoms:
  • dark urine
  • nausea
  • vomiting
  • abdominal swelling
  • unusual weight gain
  • abdominal pain
5) Do you feel unwell in any way? Be as detailed as possible.

Your renal values, apart from the ALT, do look fine though.

While 241-827 nanograms/dL is the normal range of total test for most labs, at your age you should want to be above 500 optimally. You're still within normal though, and I wouldn't worry about it too much. Many factors can alter results of tests. I personally have had my total test go from 722 to 427 within two months (without being on any anabolics).

The free test number looks strange to me. You should ask for the reference range for the free test from whichever lab performed it. I'm used to seeing a range from 47-244.

Also, have other tests ran, like:
Prolactin, FSH, LH, TSH, Total T3, Free T4, and Estradiol.
Especially important is your estrogen levels. If these are high, that could be a culprit.
Find out the free test reference range from THAT LAB that performed the test, and see if you're in line. Depending on what that reveals, you might want to get the other tests too. Let us know...good luck.

You're right, the ALT value does look high, but there could be several good reasons for that. His AST is in normal range though.
How this might relate to slat's low sex drive is, a high ALT level could be indicative of problems with the liver metabolizing estrogen. This could lead to a high estradiol level which would lower sex drive.

Slat, Kian asked good questions, especially about the alcohol consumption and what medications are you on. Also have you just come off a cycle, and if so what were you taking?

1 = I used test ent and tren ent this passed summer at 500mgs each week for 10 weeks. All the esters cleared my system after the 1st week of August.
I used dostinex at .5mg mon/thurs throughout. I used hcg at wk 5 & 10 at 500iu's a day for 10 days. Clomid when the esters cleared at 300mgs day 1, 100mgs day 2 - 11, 50mgs day 12 - 21.

2 = No meds.

3 = I have not had a drink since July 2nd.

4 = None of the symptoms listed.

*I just have no sex drive what so ever! It sucks!
 
Also, I started taking yohimbe twice a day and Tribex 5 days on 2 days off to try and help the problem. I started both after the test.

I have nolva and dostinex on hand... would any of that help?

Nolvadex might...but you should get the ranges (from that lab) for that free test value first.
Then maybe have Prolactin, FSH, LH, TSH, Total T3, Free T4, and Estradiol levels checked.

Try to get to the source my man.

I will see what I can do. My dr's are not the best. Hopefully, they will give me the labs information.

Your red blood cell count and associated hemaglobin and hematocrit levels are out of range by a few points but this shouldn't be a problem. (where I have used 'slightly raised' or 'slightly low' means that your values are just falling out of range by one or two points and so shouldn't pose a problem). Your neotrophil count is elevated which could be a sign of an active infection. All ectrolyte values are fine. Your ALT levels are very high which could be a sign of liver damage, kidney infection, alcoholism, chemical exposure, heart problems or other conditions. Your other renal values are showing fine so any link to your kidneys can likely be ruled out. You can rule out the alcohol too from what you have mentioned. All your lipid values are fine.

So the only thing which stands out is your ALT levels. Normally this value is quite low. When you suffer damage to the liver, ALT levels will slowly increase in the blood stream before you will start experiencing other symptoms.

Best advice is to consult back with your physician and discuss your reslts in detail and see if a further ALT test is required.

This is an excellent analysis.

If you did some orals, your ALT will be higher and will come down over 3-6 months. No orals for 6 months, pls.

Your cholesterol is outstanding.

Your test is mid-range and needs to be higher... more like 750.

I do not see PSA for prostate. Hopefully you are in the 1.0's. Always get this.
I do not see DHT. High in this (over 700) is trouble.
And I do not see esto. This could be your trouble maker.

If I over train, I get no desire payback.
Add a rest day or cut some sets.

All in all ... you are healthy. Just need a small tweeking or some hot romance.
 
For reference here's my test results from my last test:

ALT: 40 iu/L
Test total: 463
Test free: 14.6

My sex drive was fine and I was holding weight fine. I had been clean for a few months following a successful PCT -- 29 yo and 6'0" 212 lbs.
 
Hello friend
In answer at your PM

when analyzing your blood exam
I observe some things:

Is your hemoglobin level high, do you smoke?

Your creatinina level this in the limit, compared with the level of potassium that is a little high (Value normal of 3,5 at 4,5) maybe you were a little dehydrated to the moment of the exam, but it watches over your arterial pressure and get more water.

The ALT (Transaminasa liverwort) this a little high, maybe recently you had a Viral sindrome, confirm me this fact and send me answer in a PM, I don't usually enter in this forum.

The levels of HDL and LDL cholesterol are normal, in a minor range of the normal so don't worry about the matter, a recommendation to improve the cholesterol is that you take linen oil (CLA) it improves the proportion of acids fatty omega 3 and 6 and the levels of cholesterol HDL

I´m coincid with Ceo, make you a hormonal profile that includes Estradiol, progesteron, prolactin, T3, T4 and TSH

Greetings
 
I should be getting my blood test results this week.I am curious what my numbers are.I have not taken anything in a few years.But fixing to start.

% Free test = 3.4% Reference range: 2.0 to 4.8%
Free test = 14.1 Reference range: 9 to 30ng/dl
Total test = 416 Reference range: 240 to 950ng/dl
 
I have an appointment to discuss what I learned above with my Dr.
I am going to let him know that I am concerned about the ALT levels as mentioned above. I plan on explaining to him as it was explained to me that it could be the cause of my lack of a sex drive.
I will tell him I was told to get my Prolactin, FSH, LH, TSH, Total t3, Free t4 and estradiol checked as recomended above.
I really need a new primary care physician!
 
My first inclination is that there is an elevated estrogen level. You're going about the right path by going back and requesting those tests. Remember, he works for you. You can request tests and have the right to have them done. Medicine is so much guesswork anyway. Let us know what you find out!
 
good luck friend
possibly its the high levels of estrogen in your blood, let us wait those results to reach future conclusions

in your PM
you tell me that you had a virosis or an allergy, that explains some alterations in the transaminasas in your test.

the high hemoglobin levels, are probably because of the use previous of roids.

and the alterations of electrolytes agree with the dehydration that you had for the moment of the exam.... for these things, you should be calm

lets wait the hormonal studies and you warn us

a hug


PLEASE: Sorry for my bad English
 
Update: my Dr. didn't feel my ALT levels being at 64 indicated any liver problems and said any further tests would be overkill.
So I am out of luck for now.
I am looking to find a new primary care physician in the mean time.
What would you guys recomend?
I don't know what to do. I am going crazy. The last thing I want to do is start up with test to get my sex drive back.

If your physician didn't think your ALT levels where high then he would have to explain why they were at the level they were at. If he didn't do so, then he is irresponsible. The whole point of tests is to accertain what is wrong or to rule things out. Your physician has done neither. I can understand your frustration. Doctors like this should be struck-off.

The CBC test results you posted would only let you know what was happening in realtion to your hematology, electrolyte, hepatic enzymes, renal functions, protein and lipid values. Since you feel you are experiencing a low sex drive, you could consider the following tests:
  • FSH (follicle stimulating hormone)
  • LH (luteneising hormone)
  • SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin)
Although your TEST results on your CBC were within normal ranges, they were to the lower end at 416. Your Free Test level was also fine but sometimes this can be difficult to measure accurately. The above tests would give you a better understanding of what is going on.

Just a question: Is it just a lack of interest in sex or is it more of being unable to achieve an erection. If it is the later, then a urologist would be your best bet at carrying out these tests and any others which may be required.

And definitely don't start-up with taking anything else until you can figure out what is the cause of your current problem.

the nivels of your ALT are very little higth taht the normal range, already i´m explain you that maybe its for a viral process (you point out like allergic process) it could alter avery little that transaminasa nivel. it is not necessary to repeat the study or to make more exams for this reason.

I consider that an organic problem has been discarded, go to a psychiatrist or a sexologist, the stress or the anxiety are very probably playing an important paper

greetings
 
Just to clarify something so that you are not freaking out slat. When I said that your TEST levels were towards the low end of the scale, I meant that it is possible that a value of 416 is considered low for you but that this value would be perfectly fine for someone else as each person is unique. The normal range is between 300-1000 ng/dl. Your normal value might be 700 so your current value of 416 is considered low for you and as a result you would expereince any associated negative effects.

I have dostinex, clomid and nolvadex on hand. Would it be of benefit to take on of those?

It really depends. Without knowing the results of a few other tests, it's hard to say. See if you can get a referral to an endocrinologist, or possibly a urologist. These docs would be better suited to help you. Insist that you have the other tests ran. Those again were:

Prolactin, FSH, LH, TSH, Total T3, Free T4, and Estradiol.

Be insistant with your PCP if you have to, don't take no for an answer. You may be able to self refer to an endo, depending on your insurance, whether its an HMO, PPO, etc.

If he won't refer you, and you can't refer yourself, call an endo in your network and tell him your plight.

I've never had any trouble getting a test done, even when the physician didn't think I needed it (proved him wrong).
 
first... your lab ok, like CEO tell you
second... dostinex, nolvadex and others when your dr checking your problem

416 its a good range of testosterone... i dont imagin taht its the origen
 
Update.
I have a new Dr. He went over my history and is running all sorts of tests that should have been done in the past. EKG, Urine sample, and they took 5 vials of blood to run the tests mentioned about.
I go back on January 9th to see the results!
 
Update:
I got a call on the way to work. The Dr looked at my results and the one of the liver values was high again. Also, apparently the tests were not run on my test levels etc by mistake. I am going back in today to give more blood. They are also scheduling a time to run an ultrasound on my stomach.
I will try to get the blood test results when they are all in!
 
The ultrasonido is one of the studies most reliables for determining hepatic pathology. Colestasis problems, and the fatty liver (in there differents evolution degrees, previous to the cirrhosis), are the diagnoses most frequent.
I houpe you have a transitory thing

a hug
 
Did you ever get your Bio-Available Testosterone checked? The "Free-Test" test is not nearly as accurate as the Bio-T as it does not take into account the "weakly-bound" test molecules that binds to albumin.
 
Here are some numbers I found out over the phone compared to the end of September:

Sept Dec

TOTAL TEST 416 367
FREE TEST 14.1 8.1

I was told 367 is in the range and that 8.1 is low.

I am going in on the 3rd for an ultrasound. They want to see if I have a fatty liver. I guess overwieght people can have it from carbs etc. That should not be the case here. They also want to see if I have cysts on my liver from AAS use.
If the ultrasound comes back clean they are going to run a Hepatitis B&C test.
He told me not to worry. That he is just trying to eliminate things right now.
All I know is I have jack shit for free test and total test levels. This blows. I will post all of the results when I get them.
 
Although your numbers have dropped, this can be the result of the new lab performing the test at a different time of day than the previous testing, plus free Test has never really been very accurate.

Total testosterone: 300 - 1000 ng/dl
Free Testosterone: 8.70 - 25.1 pg/ml *

* the free Test would be for your age group and sampled in the morning

You will also have to base your results around the testing and 'normal range' parameters of the lab carrying out the test as the ranges can vary from lab to lab.

Your other blood work results showing your FSH, LH and/or prolactin levels will give you a better idea of what is going on.

In the little experience that I have, carrying out ultrasonidos to my athlees patients, I have never observed cases of fatty Liver, (I speak of regular users of steroids) those are even big national altetas and one patient in professional level.
Porbably has some metabolic dysfunction, specifically hepatic, I will investigate a little.
If the steroids were the cause, it would be correlated with elevation of the levels of cholesterol and triglicérids, I remember, they are in the normal range

I will ask to my colleagues in Gastro and I comment you

I have seen it on one person several years ago. Young guy that was trying to get life insurance. Well his liver functions came back high. His liver was one the fatties ones I have seen. I thought that strange and asked the guy if he was taking any kind of medication and he confided he had been taking oral steroids. At that time I knew notta about steroids so I did not think to ask what kind of oral he was taking or how long. Funny thing was the guy did not even look like he lifted or was active (chubby).
 
Update:
No tumors or cysts in my liver.

They also ran a hepatitus C test. It came back negative.
We are going to run a hepatitus B test next. I guess they need more blood.

Next we are going to run a test to see if my body is storing Iron.
 
Good to hear your liver is well bro! Stay strong throught the tests, don't let bad senarios enter your mind, You'll come out strong.

In one month we are going to run the tests again. I am not going to take any supplements and I am going to cut out the natural peanut butter. I guess there are some cases of bacteria or something in peanut butter that have caused liver issues.
We are also going to run some tests to see if I have elevated serum aminotransferases.
 
Mr. Black said:
Tell them to test your SHBG & Bio-Available testosterone. Do IT!

Good call. I forgot to mention that we are running all the test levels again. This time including SHBG. I mentioned bio-available test and he said it was the same as %free test. He is aware I post here and I mentioned that I was told it was different and more accurate. He was interested. So I emailed the explanation of Bio-available test to him that was listed in this thread.
Thats what I like about this guy. If he is not sure of something he will research it.
He also said when ever I am ready he will refer to an endocranoligist? (sp). I may be on my way to Boston to meet with a liver specialist if my values are not down next month too!

Good to hear:)
 
Your WBC is quite high... you know that a high WBC, even within the normal reference range is associated with significantly higher risk of cancer...

Edit:

Nevermind, just seen your new results! lol

You should really try something about this though!

CHOLESTEROL 123
TRIGLYCERIDE 108
HDL CHOLESTEROL 33
LDL CHOLESTEROL 68

HDL is really low, and you wanna get triglycerdies down to around 35-70 ..

is there a way you can tell from blood test if you are overtrained?.. i,ve read that cortisol levels may be a good indicator?
 
Mr. Black said:
You getting your SHBG and Bio-T checked?

I believe so. I am waiting for the results now. I guess they had to send the blood to NC to have some tests done.
 
I just spoke exchanged some emails with the dr. My liver values are normal again. I will not know about the other stuff for a bit.
At this point it looks like "Pure Vitargo" might be the culprit. It is the only thing that was different in my diet. I started it a little over a week before the first test and continued to use it through the second test when my liver values were almost 4x higher. I stopped and they are normal again.
 
slat1 said:
How do you get your triglycerides down?

Triglycerides are one of the hardest things to get down.

Mega-doses of omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to decrease triglycerides a good bit. Niacin and omega-3's are the best things for reducing triglycerides.

Do NOT take high doses of niacin without consulting with a physician. It can be dangerous because some people can go into fulminant hepatic failure, requring liver transplantation if the right kind of niacin isn't used and if LFT's aren't monitored.

You can start supplementing with omega-3's now to help with triglycerides and also with your HDL. Usually 2 grams per day is enough, but I would stick with the good stuff (like OmegaRx). If you supplement with impure stuff at those doses, you're likely to have mercury poisoning and have so many PCB's in your system that you'll have a tenfold risk of cancer.

If your insurance company pays for your prescriptions, then you can get your physician to write a script for Omecor. 4 g daily is the usual dose.

Well seeing as your Bio-T is right off the reference range of normal, it certainly makes sense that you'd be experiencing low libido. Is that all the tests done? Other tests of interest that might help explain the low Bio-T would be Estradiol, Prolactin, LH & TSH.

We ran those last time. They are in the thread a page or two back.
I am going in on the 20th to talk to my DR. He is going to set up an appointment with an endocrenologist for me.

Ok I found them...(long fucking thread), although it still would of been beneficial to test them again. Sometimes lab error can occur. Also if you have come off all supps those values could have changed (sometimes diet can alter them as well). Anyways have you thought about running a monster PCT a la Jenetic? All the endo will do will prescribe you some test. If it was me, I'd run a fuck load of HCG with some Nolva & Aromasin. You have nothing to lose....worse case scenario it does nothing, best case, your Total T should increase, thus increasing your Bio-T

Wow. I just watched the girl in your signature for about 10 minutes strait. She is a classic example of why I would pay for sex!
I figure I will meet with the endo and see what he say's. If I get prescribed test fine.
I would like to see if I could get it back to "normal" naturally though. I have hcg/clomid/nolva on hand just in case.
I just want this taken care of at this point.
