Just had a GGT liver test done and was surprised

[jtmarlin]

I'm using 30mg of test e per day along with 15mg of anavar daily. I was curious how it affected my liver. My AST is chronically just out of range to the higher end due to exercise it seems. I thought it was because I do have a few alcohol drinks daily (I'm not a bodybuilder) but my GGT came back quite good at 17 (lower is better and this is at the low end of red range) so taking 15mg of anavar per day and consuming a few alcohol drinks daily seems to be having no impact on my liver based on bloods.

Anavar is excerted by the kidneys not the liver

Interesting. My kidney markers actually improved by adding var. My BUN dropped 10 points oddly and my creatinine dropped to within range. I don't usually use these numbers as I had a cystatin c test with GFR that showed my kidneys to be quite intact. I have actually never seen my BUN this low it is 17 and is usually top end or out of range and I have had bloods taken more times than I can count.

Mostly yes. But 50 var wrecked my numbers after 5 weeks it's still liver toxic.

Yes absolutely. Even modest oxandrolone use will raise ALT/AST in many folks. It also exerts its lipid wrecking effects via increase of hepatic lipase in the liver. Folks using orals should familiarize themselves with reverse cholesterol transport process.

15mg var is a joke dose and i doubt it does anything negative or positive unless you're a hyperesponder, Vigorous Steve's twin or a she.

I'm not cycling. I'm using it alongside my TRT dose. It definitely is keeping me fuller and I'm getting better pumps. I'm using it in the AM bc I follow a fasting diet at the moment and want to using it for anti-catabolism when I'm not eating until later in the day. I've actually gained weight since adding it 4 weeks ago while still doing IF and eating at maintenance.
