Blood levels

Is it ok if I share this here ? Or should I start a new thread ?



I am still trying to figure all this out, but my levels that are abnormal are:

Urea, high, 10.6 (2.5 - 7.1 nmol/L)

Gamma GT, high, 57 (5 - 55 U/L)

DHEA-S, low, 1.2 (1.9 - 8.39 umol/L)

Folic Acid, low, 5.1 ( should be > 12.19 nmol/L)

I moved it into it's own thread.

Do you have other bloods, AST / ALT / Ferritin / Homocysteine, Hemoglobin, Cholesterol, etc ?

Shoe your DHEA is low, mine is sitting at 15, high for some reason.. What was your creatinine sitting on and what was the GFR ?

Your Urea and GGT tests are just indicators for your kidneys and liver but need to be looked at with other tests before you can come close to anything conclusive. How're your other liver enzymes, ALP/ALT/AST? GGT could be elevated by medication or even if you've had a few too many drinks lately.

You've had concerns about your kidneys and mentioned high creatinine levels, so your doc should be on top of that if your Urea is anything to worry about.

DHEA is suppressed by anabolics and it's usually dose dependant. But affects people differently... Low dose TRT does not always have a very suppressive effect on it, but Nebido would more so than say doing 2x 75mg shots of T per week where T levels don't spike so high and are more stable.

Folic acid issues are usually diet related. Important to get this up. Did you get a complete count count test done to check your blood cells? It can be linked to anaemic symptoms.
