There are a million factors that affect health, but the easiest way out is to blame it on gear,  Don't blame food or the environment or anything else 

I still think all of these wireless devices are going to give everyone cancer.  Think about how many rays are passing through the air today that didn't exist 20 years ago.

Good post

Did you take a few days off from strenuous activity before the test?

I always had to take several days off to give accurate readings.

Most of those values are fine.

[Borracho]

Do you drink plenty of water throughout the day?

I always hear that its great for the kidneys but I wonder to what extent...

[Gizzer]

Just FYI bro, the more muscle you have, the higher your creatinine levels, add to that a high protein diet, rigourous weight lifting and cardio and you have a good chance of your kidney values being out of range. Breaking down of muscle tissue will raise your BUN since Nitrogen is kind of a leftover product in the process. Don't stress too much about it. You could always order some urine test strips and see if any protein starts popping up in your urine. That's usually a sign your kidneys are in trouble.

WTF is "off".

Good post. There is a lot of evidence of this all over the medical community.

A very good idea is to drink a liter or two of water as soon as you wake up every morning. I can say from past experience that this will help your kidneys a great deal. Remember, if you are thirsty, you are dehydrated. Don't wait until you are thirsty to drink water, try to drink it throughout the day regardless of if you are on AAS or not.

Gizzer also posted some great advice.

im not blaming the gear,man.i even said some important things were actually better when on gear.

and i said the bad food when off is pretty bad.

the kidney thing even seems to be not because of gear.

gear and more food made some liver reading worse, but thats it.

make of it what you want, ive posted it in case someones interested, dont be so jumpy.

is your mens overdue or something

If the kidney #'s are still off after three months, you need further checkups. They should have normalized by now. Opt for internal medicine specialist at your local hospital, that's what i did to reassure myself.

Furthermore, you allude to the fact your numbers were better while on than off. This can often be more of an illusion than reality, because we feel and look better on than we would otherwise -- making us think things are really better then they are.

And you ONLY touched Test E during the year long cycle, nothing else?

Yea it is the food he is eating and not the AAS.

 That is why so many people who do NOT do AAS and eat good have bad blood test results

HAHA!!!!!!!!!

Great post..............

 

I'm just going to stop there 

[Borracho]

Is there anything you can take to improve kidney health?

[Primemuscle]

btw, i was on test e for about a year, dosage varied from 250-750mg weekly.and that was all, no recreational drugs,no alcohol,no fatburners,no gh, no diuretics.

doesnt sound like much gear, but test e fom the pharmacy id say is about twice as strong as the socalled "pharm grade" bunk from ugs.you do the math.

I have been off testosterone cypionate since January. The first thing that changed was my PSA went down from 9.7 to 6.1. I'll be be doing more labs next month. I am anxious to see if my PSA score has continued to drop. If it has, I am wondering what my urologist will make of this. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in January, which is why I stopped the testosterone.

Like you, I've dropped some weight. I was down from 220 to 191 a few weeks back. However, I am currently just under 200. I also have not followed a strict diet but I do eat less since I have forgone exercise lately. Since my annual gym membership dues are due next month, I am hoping paying them will be the impetus to get me back working out.

[Primemuscle]

oh, i still work out with full motivation, ofc strenght and pump etc are laughable compared to when on, but 4 months off, the body still looks about same, its just that im flat, when i turn to the side, im gone
im keping a kinda strict diet as far calories are concerned.
the doc said much protein is no problem for a healthy kidney, but for a problematic one,its best to reduce protein intake, he said to eat more carbs instead.

what is PSA, my bloodtest result is in german, so, not all terms are the same?

borracho, doc said to drink plenty of water and stay off all drugs, if this doesnt help, it will be time to see a specialist.

PSA is the acronym for prostate specific antigen. It is a common blood test to see how one's prostate is doing. Here is a link to more information about this: http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/detection/PSA. Lately, there has been some controversy about the effectiveness of this test. However, at this point there is no other surefire way to check the health of one's prostate.

I assume you live in Germany from what you wrote. My son lives in Uettingen, Gemany. He's been there for over twenty-five years. It is beautiful there. His wife is German. He met her when he was first stationed in Germany. They will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary in the summer of 2013. My wife and I are hoping to spend some time with them that summer in Germany.

My wife suffers from kidney disease as a result of type II diabetes. He doctor advised she limit protein intake from meats, such as, beef, lamb and pork. Apparently protein from eggs, cheeses, beans and soy products are not as hard on the kidneys. However, I have read were too much soy can be detrimental to some men's health raising their estrogen levels.

I am grateful that I have relatively healthy and can eat whatever I choose. I probably should limit my craving for cheeses as I do have high cholesterol, which is managed with medication.

did younpost your test level? I do not see it? what ng are you hitting at? 250-780ng is in the norrmal range.

[Gizzer]

The problem with the range of testosterone levels is that you have the testosterone level of an 80 year old right now but the doc's assistant tells you it's on the lower side of the range since the range doesn't factor in age its misleading. Matter of fact is that you are still way too low, I am not sure how old you are but if you are in your early 30s you should should have test levels of at least 600 (IMO). Your test will probably go a bit higher but don't be suprised if you stay on the low side.

I was on for 9 months the first year I juiced and I tested at 758ng after 5 months off and a good PCT.

some come back, some dont.

some need more time.

considering my last injection was in early january and that it was depot test, im probably clean only since 2months.
takes a while till everything is out with long esters.
im not panicking, i even think i got away quite well, havent gained any bodyfat, but some of the mass is gone.

doc said if i want hrt, i can have it, i easily qualify
ill wait a bit

I worked hard to get it up that high. I was also using short esters(total opposite as you) alot of suspension. I usedd alot of DHEA and Trib. after I used the HCG ,clomid and nolva. I was also using a few over the counter products like gasparis novedex stuff worked real well.Before I got tested I thought my test was low due to low libido even though I had been clean for about 5 months and had been using a bunch of Test boosters. hell DHEA is for old men but can work very well for anybody. I would try to get your test level back naturally if you can. the longer you are off the higher it will go up.I knnow most guys think OTC supps are shit but some of them will def work raising your natural test level.

It took me about 6 months of being clean to get my test back to over 400. I had been on heavy doses for almost 4 years.

Give it some more time and your body will even out.

If not, get on TRT like the rest of us.
