I'm gearing up (literally) for a cycle starting in July, so I had my sister (a lab tech.) do my blood work. My cholesterol levels were great, white count great...everything looked good except my potassium levels and kidney B.U.N. levels. B.U.N. was 24, which is not alarmingly high she assured me, but does anyone know if I should take this into consideration for my cycle? I attribute it to my already high protein intake. But, how high will it get during my deca cycle when I increase the protein even more? Does anyone know if this is something that I should be concerned about?

BTW, she'd freak if she knew I was on AS, so getting blood work done during my cycle is not an option. I'll have to wait until after to survey any damage. I'm just going to take it easy on the banana's for the K.

Knowing just your BUN is too little information for anything definate. If sodium ( normals 135-150) and chlorides (normals 90-110) are also elevated then it is probably something with the kidneys. However it can be as you infered simply elevated protein intake. Also when you take AS they tend to increase your own production of HGH - which alters protein metabolism and can artifactually raise BUN. If GGT (normal is 1-45) and SGPT (normals 18-26) are altered then it can indicate altered liver function. Also it can poor lab technique - lab tech pulls a hard drunk the night before and does the test half asleep.

Thanks guys...anyone else have any info?

Oh, and Cornfed, as tempting as that offer sounds, I think I'll have to pass. I've got enough of my own blood as it is.
