Should people weight training completely ignore AST and ALT, and simply look at the other liver markers instead? ALT & AST just seem unreliable for people doing weight training: https://blog.insidetracker.com/muscle-damange-to-blame-for-elevated-liver-enzymes...

My ALP has been around 140 for the last two weeks. It was normal before Lipitor I started in February. My doctor is testing it because I want to go back on accutane. Is this normal? My total cholesterol is <100 now. I had a 60% drop in LDL on 10mg of Lipitor daily. EDIT: welp doctor called...

I've been on TRT for about 15 years. I keep my total testosterone on the low end, around 400 (I couldn't get my T over 150 before TRT). This evening I was reading this study: S2577 Development of Liver Cancers as an Unexpected... : Official journal of the American College of Gastroenterology |...

My liver enzymes are always a little high, not super high, but always 30-40% over normal range for the last 20+ years. Occasionally they have gone down to WNL when I lost weight (I am up and down with my weight). Therefore I know some of this is due to me being overweight now (about 40lbs), so...

Do you know if testosterone gel is milder on the liver than injections? As we know, the oily injections may not be harmless for the liver.

so due to low T for a long time i sadly got into drinking alcohol for like 5 months now, daily (except a week and some days off here and there) around 12 beers a day. obviously that needs to stop and im already trying to reduce and then stop alcohol completely. so, ive heard that alcohols...

My uncle has stage 4 liver cancer and the oncologist said he has approximately one year. Nobody really knows why you get cancer, some say it's because of environmental factor, others say because our dna starts to decay. I believe it's a bit of everything that is toxic to our bodies. I want to...

Even since before starting TRT my bilirubin has been often elevated. One time it was 10 times the reference range. The last time I checked it was only double the reference range. My liver enzymes were always in range and not even near the top, I dont have any liver issues that Im aware of. My...

Hello, So now 4 years into trt and I have gotten a few more ancillaries from empower and would like to hear thoughts. Maybe you decide to try your luck. So far I am taking a lipo C injection from empower, hcg and glutathione. Also nandralone. This along with cold showers, sauna, and weight...

A liver specialist wants me to stop taking testosterone for a month due to her wanting clean labs for hepatitis B levels. I’ve had it my whole life, but just now am seeing a specialist to see if I need treatment. What should I expect over the next month?

I’d be interested in hearing others experience using oxandrolone troches instead of oral delivery (capsules) to bypass first-pass metabolism and reduce liver toxicity and lower minimum effective dose. Since oxandrolone has excellent oral bioavailability (97-98%) and is actually metabolized...

A marker for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was found to be higher in men with lower testosterone levels, even after controlling for factors of obesity and age. The article says: "We used the highest sex- specific quartiles of serum total testosterone as references. Suspected non- alcoholic...

Hey Guys, First post here, but I have been lurking for months now. I started TRT end of March and feel great. I have some concerns about my recent blood test and I was wondering if anyone could answer some questions. I am concerned about BUN on last blood test and low BUN/Creatinine ratio. I...

I am not sure how many of you are familiar with this supplement (Himalaya Liv.52). I have taken it on a regular basis and have never had any liver issues whatsoever. This is one supplement I feel is really worth the money, since it's one of the most complete liver support supplements on the...
