The iron or the uric acid?
I wonder now about the albumin level and if it's correlated with the uric acid...

I checked my last urinalysis and albumin was not checked. Only in my bloodwork. I assume yours was also measured in your bloodwork. Albuminuria is too much albumin in the urine so I am not sure if too much/too little in the blood is related.
“Albuminuria is a pathological condition wherein the protein albumin is abnormally present in the urine. It is a type of proteinuria.”
I found a study that looked at fasting GLP-1 levels and albuminuria. They concluded that “These findings imply that endogenous GLP-1 may have a beneficial role in attenuating albuminuria.”

Another interesting note in that study was “albuminuria could be reduced by ACE inhibitors and ARBs”.
So maybe as I had normal albumin level telmisartan or glp1 reduced it even further bringing it low?I checked my last urinalysis and albumin was not checked. Only in my bloodwork.

Possibly. We are all taking so many things anything is possible. But while my uric acid was low on 2/8, my albumin was normal (4.5 range 3.8-4.9). And it usually is normal. I’m also on Reta and Telmisartan.
Yeah it's an headache sometime, you fix one thing another one appear and you start wondering now what?
Damn this game is stressful.sometime but I wouldn't do any other way I guess

I have yet to see anyone mention ferritin which is more important to follow
Well the thread was about iron level. You measure those with ferritin. Unless it's different in America. I never checked my iron level but always ferritin. I believe it's how you check properly the iron levels isn't it?

You need to bring your ferritin at least 100+ it's very important. It means 400% more than iron level
Iron bysiglicinate or whatever the fuck it's called will fix it with time. It takes a bit. Don't take it together with zinc but you probably know

Ferritin is much better than iron in the blood
This is iron that is stored in your liver. If there is an absorption problem, it would show up with Ferritin.
Ferritin can also be elevated due to inflammation(mainly systemic)

being on TRT with erythrocytosis is a balancing game. Mainly if you are symptomatic.
Many of the guidelines for managing erythrocytosis is based off of Polycythemia Vera(Cancerous condition)
There are also people who do feel fatigue from having too high of a HGB/HCT.

Also look into supplementing apolactoferrin. It's available on amazon. Jarrow is one company.

I think it was WebMD that had a drug-drug interaction app. I think we would break that app.

The are pretty routine tests. Might as well just ask for them from your GP at next check-up.
