[QUOTE="bkb33, post: 151034, member: 38008"] After my most recent round of bloodwork, I was curious where some longevity biomarkers were sitting, so I asked for follow-up tests. I had them done Monday and just got the results: [ATTACH=full]7630[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]7631[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]7632[/ATTACH] The key numbers — HCT is midrange and has not changed significantly (45.7-46.3); same for HGB (15.5-15.6); and same for RBC (5.19-5.20). However, I have seen notable changes in ALT (34 in February, shortly after I first started TRT, and now 61) and AST (33 in February, 62 now). Additionally, ALP has dropped from 48-36. I don’t know anything about these biomarkers. Anyone here who can speak to the implications of these results — something to be concerned about? As a reminder, my T numbers exploded on my last bloodwork. Total T shot up to 2889, with Free T at 543.1. The ratio of Free:Total T was significantly better than what I’d seen before — an encouraging sign — but I lowered my dose (from 200-180/week) because of warnings about the sky-high T levels and how those may harm my long-term health. I also increased Danazol from 25 mg EOD to 25 mg ED (SHBG was still somewhat high at 72). Given these new results, do you think I should stick with that plan moving forward? I am very happy to see the HCT/HGB/RBC numbers, but not sure how to feel about ALT/AST/ALP. EDIT: I've learned workout timing affects liver enzymes. I had these tests conducted at 8 a.m. Monday, did an hour of intense cardio on Sunday evening (6 p.m.), and lifted hard (back) on Saturday afternoon. [/QUOTE]
