Pre-Bloods, low test. Looking for advice

[Southeastbeast1]

Let me start by saying I've never run anything.

Was planning on doing first cycle starting in July so got my pre bloods

Surprised/disappointed to find the results say I have low test. Liver tests and BUN also came back high which has me worried.

Anyone know why my liver tests are so high?

Little background:
-5'9", 166 lbs when blood drawn
-Competed in first show in May at around 160 lbs then, got bodyfat down to 7.6% during that time according to bod pod (not the most accurate but I was definitely in the 7.5-9% range at least)
-Did not crash diet or anything for the show. Actually never dropped below 2k calories. Slowly increased cals since trying not to blow up overeating post show and getting fat
-workout 6 days a week still. Cardio of sprints or stairmaster every other day in addition to the lifting
-1.5-2 hours lifting each day. 30 min cardio if cardio is done.
-Don't drink alcohol at all. Haven't had a sip in like 3 years. Rarely drank when younger.
-Clean diet with lots of veggies (broccoli, asparagus, zucchini, etc)
-Tend to have a high protein diet. Macros currently around 240 G protein at the time blood was drawn which could explain the high BUN
-Before the contest was never below 170 lbs. usually ranged 170-190, higher bf with higher weight obviously.

Not sure how much any of this matters, just trying to paint a complete picture in case it matters

Don't feel tired or show symptoms of low T in any way. As far as I know totally healthy, no issues with anything.

Strength has been low in the gym lately but chalked it up to a few nagging injuries plus dieting to a lower than normal weight.

No idea why liver tests are so terrible.

I'm wondering now if I should still run a cycle with the liver values so high. Or is it a massive risk based on the blood work?

I'm also wondering should I try to get on trt (are they even low enough to ask?) since the test is low and hold off on any cycle and just do trt?

Advice on where I should go from here or ability to shed light on the liver tests would be great if anything stands out.

Stay away from AAS until you've got your bloods under control. You need to see a doctor so things like hepatitis, lupus, etc., can be ruled out.

Your test is super low. Go see a doctor. Trt is a possibility.

Your liver could be high from a high protein diet. To much protein can actually shred your kidneys also. Ask a doctor.

Maybe a dumb question, but can I bring these labs to the doctor and show them instead of going and having them send me out for more blood work?

usually just go to those urgent care centers when I need to go to a doctor which is rare, so I don't have a doctor I see regularly.

Should I seek out a specialist for this or anything?

I'd start with a general practitioner. Bring your results if you want, but they will probably want to run some labs of their own.

Do you take any supplements or use moderate-to-high doses of NSAIDs on a regular basis?

Yes you can bring those lab results to doctor. I did. They just request to make a copy for record. See a doctor first. Then if you require a specialist they will refer you one

Just a multi (Opti-Men) and fish oil for supplements. I have aspirin but don't use it regularly.



Thanks for the responses guys. Will hit up a general practitioner soon

Are you taking any medications whatsoever?
How recently before blood draw did you last work out?

I've learned my liver values always come back higher if I train the night before.

Yeah trained from 7:30-9:00 the night before, had a protein shake and banana right after at 9 as last thing eaten to fast 12 hours before bloods taken. Bloods drawn around 8:45 am the next morning.

I take no medications and never have. Don't even like going to the doctor when I get sick with a cold. Pretty much just ride it out on my own . At worst will take NyQuil when sick which can definitely have effects but I'm sick few and far between. Haven't been sick for a 1.5 years though (January 2016 last time, had a real bad flu bout back then, nothing since).

How much cocaine and xtc do you do monthly?

Haha I know, right? Gotta cut back I guess.

Seriously though, never even smoked a cig in my life. I'm 30 years old (which I'm now realizing I forgot to post in the first post) so the low T is a little surprising but not crazy to see. The high LFT's though... really can't even come up with a theory on my own. We'll see if the doctors got any theories.

Thought I'd give this place a shot first though. You guys are pretty smart sometimes.

Haha thought I'd ask. Yea see a doctor. They'll do more blood work and see what's really going on. 30 is young, but some men do get low T when they reach 30. Shit my natty T is 450 that shit is pretty low and I'm also in my 30's. I'm actually going to visit my doctor after my cycle is complete and see if I need TRT
