Bloodwork Feedback (how badly am I dying?)

[juicebro]

You could try jardiance or farxiga , , definitely lower the tren, i know people don't hear that, I was having kidney problems and jardiance seem to have put them in check and I'm seeing positive results , but you are definitely in CKD stage 2, the good news is your bun is normal and your bun/Cr is normal so there's not too much damage to the kidneys, YET ,

That's not how CKD is diagnosed lol. Bloodwork alone doesn't mean much. I've had my cystatin c jump to 1.25 then back to 0.7. As someone else already said there's a lot of factors that can give a false high reading. That much tren alone can raise cystatin C without true CKD.

Also, you don't die of atherosclerosis in a few months. Even with much worse numbers it takes many years to develop to a point it's a problem. Everyone is fear mongering like OP is gonna drop dead tomorrow.

One CRP reading doesn't mean anything. It could be elevated because of a million reasons. You look at trends. And you should take at least 4-7 days off from the gym before getting bloodwork. Otherwise half the shit is gonna be way off.

Agree. I've gone from 1.1 creatinine to 1.5 a month later by getting labs 2 days after a high volume workout. Cystatin C from .6 on trt up to .86 on cycle.


Nothing on his bloodwork shows he's in immediate danger and most of it is skewed by his huge amounts of gear.

Got Repatha today. Also ordering Glutathione, and Telmisartan/clin/chlortha pills for on cycle

So total stack will be Repatha, pitavastatin, bemp + ezetimble, glut, tel/clin/chlortha pills.

If there is anything I should look at, I am all ears.

good to add
empagliflozin/jardiance (sglt2)

do an echo, check for LVH
LVH can be regressed, the earlier you spot it the easier.
eplerenone can help with LVH

whats your b.p?

Did he get banned because he died?

Your androgen load is you.

The Cystatin C being slightly elevated needs more context, especially on a heavy cycle.

Tren, thyroid hormone levels, systemic inflammation, high hematocrit, and even certain supplements can raise cystatin C and lower eGFR without true kidney damage.

In your case, BUN is normal, urinalysis is clean, and electrolytes are stable, which argues against kidney disease. This looks more like functional renal stress that’s potentially reversible if stressors are reduced, rather than kidney failure.

This is something to respect and monitor, but not something that suggests permanent damage based on these labs alone. I showed your labs to charge nurse in fam.

I don't fear monger, but my Glomerular Filtration Rate rate was around yours. It dropped rapidly by my next labs. By the time I had symptoms it started out as a gag reflex issue followed by nausea from consuming water, as time progressed water by volume became harder to consume in smaller amounts. Wife took me to the hospital, I was admitted to the ICU for 5 days with 6 IVs at 1 point to flush kidneys. Followed by 5 individual everyday for 4 additional days. At this point I was at 46gfr which continued to drop. Long story short it developed from acute kidney injury into full on rhabdomyolisis. I got sent home on day 6 with numerous medications and blood work weekly for 6 months. I made a full recovery.

Cycle was 1g test c, 750tren e, 400mast e, and injectable superdrol at 20mg 1hr pre on working days. My Dr was the greatest, I'm always honest, he had everyone exit the room. He said and I quote "only an idiot would run tren that high for that long, look guy I'm on tren myself (verified stout older doc). Everything terrible happens above 300mg, and isn't needed. Clean it up or you can be another number on my dumb dude gear list, fat and on dialysis for life." They actually looked into a donar list for potential transplant as well.

This is something to respect and monitor, but not something that suggests permanent damage based on these labs alone. Make changes i don't want to see anyone go through what I did and it happens fast for

What is your kidney function like now? By full recovery you mean totally back to normal? That's good to hear. I thought kidney damage was more or less permanent

I had AKI. So it was sudden and completely reversible based off the timing to hospital ICU. I don't lie, ego delayed me by a day or two, as I thought I was just ill and would fight it off. What concerned me was my actual illness feeling, I would sip water and have nausea like being hammered drunk without the head spin, just instantly vomiting (flu like). I was given meds ( various IVs and script pills) and don't recall what they all were, so my apology. I had weekly labs for quite a while, followed by monthly labs. Later reduced to 6 month labs. Until I recovered to full normal function. AKI is sudden with probability for reversal (damage dependant). CKD is permanent. I also was under the impression it was damage done. So we share that thought but it's not always the case.

GFR at its lowest I recall was 42. Upon completion of treatment I was at GFR of 96. All other labs came back in healthy ranges. Modern medicine can do amazing things when caught early as my DR stated. Cycle consisted of Tren and inject Sdrol. I won't touch either ever again. The risk doesn't justify any reward at all. They performed a scan that showed a very small hole in my right kidney leaking fluid which got into my blood stream. Reason for instant nausea. Rhabdomyolysis put further burden on the kidney and they never determined why I got to this point. Dr even stated when they typically see rhabdomyolysis the patient is emaciated and it's clearly indicative. In my case the AAS was preserving muscle tissue even though rhabdo was taking effect.

Hope that helps understanding.

Edit: for further context before discharge they had my GFR back at 70. Obviously it was good enough to go home. I have great insurance so no reason to just boot me home. They were confident enough to ensure I would recover. The IVs they provided on day 1 were amazing, I felt great but short for 18hrs, at 1 point they woke me administering me IVs (injections). Wife confirmed I slept for 48hrs but they gave me meds to induce that also.
