We need more of the results. But...
AST: Liver Enzyme, 44 is slightly elevated, to be expected.
ALT: Liver Enzyme, looking great.
These are the two markers regarding liver condition
Hematocrit: Blood, 50.8, to be expected on gear, above 54 is the reference range on other tests (also where to be concerned).
Cystatin C: Kidney Function, need your "Creatinine" marker and plug into this calculator along with your other info.
eGFR: Kidney Function, this is based of creatinine as well. Lower the number the more kidney function is reduced. However, Cystatin C better determines.
FSH & LH: Usually in the tank when on gear.

The only thing slightly concerning to me would be the Cystatin-C/egfr
Your kidney markers are a bit worrying, liver is good, blood is good. Were you hydrated before giving blood or completely fasted? DHEA you can start supplementing 25-50mg a day to raise your levels. How about lipids?
This is probably due to prolonged dieting, you're 1 year on caloric deficit right? If you don't start eating in surplas i think it's tough to raise IGF1 levels, unless you double the GH dose lol

AST of 44 is no big deal. A short course of ibuprofen could cause a similar elevation. It'd have to be double that or more to start to be a concern.
HCT is the percentage of red blood cells. >50% is "high" but not concerning. Something expected on gear. If it goes much higher, there could be issues with blood pressure and such, in which case a donation might be in order.
FSH and LH are the two hormones that stop being produced once someone goes on exogenous testosterone. That means you are "shut down". It's common.
Cystatin C and eGFR values show impaired kidney function. Definitely something to look into. Nothing you're presently on would readily cause that. How's blood pressure.

Do you have a BP monitor and is your BP consistently 120/80 or less when not training? I would retest again in a month or so to be sure. Gotta keep that filter clean brother
Ateam2023

No
Bp 130/70 sometimes 125/70 really never high at most 143/50 or something

if you only use Testosterone at 200mg you probably have a genetic predisposition to have kidney problems
cystatin is a value that does not lie, if it is out of range there are very likely kidney problems already in progress
EGFR is low, you could already be in kidney failure
what I can tell you is to do an abdominal ultrasound as soon as possible and see what they tell you about your internal organs
how are you managing your diet, do you use a lot of salt?

I just got off the phone with my doctor and we reviewed these blood test results and he said he's not "tooo concerned " about my kidneys , however we are gonna monitor them more closely.Omg I told him what I was on and what I take "and I have a good doctor. " , Let me tell you. He also said the amount of supplements I take could also be a little bit of a factor because I take about 15 pills a day with all my supplements, the milk thistle, the astragus root, etc., etc..
i want to thank all my fellow members for input! i love this place!

If you don't already, get a BP monitor as @PaintDrinker pointed out. I like using this one. It's about $80.00. It connects to my phone via blue-tooth and automatically syncs up with my health app & logs the info. I also have their weight scale the connect & logs the same. Makes data collection a breeze
Check BP first thing in the morning every day at least for a week to know where your at. Check regularly after that. I check every day, sometimes I miss a day, but it's an easy & vital marker to keep an eye on.
