Hi All,
Long time lurker.
I am on TRT at a reasonable but high-ish dose of 125mg a week and like to have small blasts every now and then.
I just finished a 2 month blast consisting of:
20mg var a day for the last 6 weeks.
7mg Tren ED
Total Androgens not counting for ester weight and oral bioavailability: 314mg a week.
Funny thing is although the dosage was relatively modest this was an incredible cycle! Strength gains slow and steady every week as well as fat loss (super consistent deficit diet).
I went to go get my bloods tested to see the damage done and unfortunately even at those modest dosages seems like my organs were pretty stressed:
Kidney:
Normal s-urea 6.5 ref 2.1-7.1 mmol/L
High S-CREATININE 112 ref 63-111 umol/L
Low 77 CKD-EPI EGFR (ml/min/1.73m2) ref >=90 <----- I am very worried about this. I am assuming its the Tren? My blood pressure has been fine.
Cholesterol:
High 5.4 S-CHOLESTEROL ref < 5.0 mmol/L
High 4.5 S-LDL CHOLESTEROL ref **< 3.0 mmol/L
Low 1.2 S-HDL CHOLESTEROL ref **> 1.2 mmol/L
4.20 NON-HDL-CHOL
High 4.5 CHOL: HDL RATIO ref < 4.0
Liver:
Albumin, Protein, Globulin, Alb/Glob ratio, Bilirubin, S-conj. Bilirubin all within range.
ALK - within range
SGGT - within range
HIgh ALT 47 ref <35 iu/L
High AST 45 < 40 iu/L
Endocrine:
High Total T: 30.9 ref 8.3 - 30.1 nmol/L
SHBG 37.90 ref 11 - 78 nmol/L
High Free T: 669.9 ref 230 - 630 pmol/L
E2 : 127 ref < 161 pmol/L
Questions:
I am worried about cholesterol and kidneys.
What do I do now that my cycle is over and how can I prevent damage better the next time I blast?
My plan is to drop the TRT to 100mg a week so that I fall back within range. Continue Tudca, NAC and milk thistle.
What can I take for my cholesterol and kidneys?
Thanks all!
