Bad News(Liver)

[Stew Meat]

My SGPT was 86 and the doc told me that it was above normal but was not high. He said that high was above 100. He said I had nothing to worry about... I asked him if I could still get drunk on the weekends and he just laughed and pretty much said there should be no problem with that as far as my liver was concerned... but just to not make a habit out of it.

Why are you getting the ultrasound? Sounds like your doc wants some money out of your insurance company...

Try not to worry to much about what the doc says. Is it an internal medicine doc or family practicioner?

If so, they don't really no shit about athletes. I had a couple of doctors freak out with slightly elevated numbers and recommend ultrasound. I, being a poor college student at the time, blew it off.

As I became a little more learned and talked to some docs in the know, I found that almost all lifters have elevated liver function tests regardless of whether or not they had used juice. That is because those tests measure tissue damage. I think they have tests now that measure for liver enzymes more directly, but am not sure.

I actually had one of the readings right around 100 and when a doc freaked me out, I submitted and got an ultrasound... it came back nothing wrong.

anyway, if the ultrasound will give you piece of mind, go for it... but don't sweat it too much.

if you take a shitload of 17aa stuff, your liver enzymes may shoot through the roof for a little while and lower as you come off these.. if you stay with test/deca, they should be only moderately raised.

peace.

Goodluck to you Mustang, I hope its nothing serious. Don't rush that summer cycle. You still have your whole life ahead of you.

You need to know what is normal for a lazy slob with
a poor diet is not in the normal ranges for a bodybuilder
either on or off of gear. Were you on Accutane before?
This will really fuck with the liver tests. Also were you
using any product containing any form of Acetaminophen
for pain headache or anything. This will raise liver counts faster and higher than A-50. Give yourself a little
time no drinking and perhaps cut back on training a llittle
and you should be fine.
