Blood test results...help!

[Hellion1]

First of all, this is my first post but I am not new to the game. Have heard a lot of good things about this board and am glad to finaly be here.
Today was the much dredded day to call for my follow-up. The nurse said that the doctor wanted to see me in person to go over test results. Long story short I think I 'm f'd. My liver enzymes are high. My cholestrol level is elevated as well. In actuality, I don't know how bad it realy is because my doctor has limited experience treating athletes. All I know is that he wants to do another test in 2 weeks and by then if things haven't chenged ( mainly my cholestrol), he'll put me on medication. On the bright side my blood pressure was 128/ 88, which is a vast improvement. Here are some numbers. Your educated input would mean a lot as I am more than a little concerned:

AST-64
ALT-133

Tryglycerides-177
HDL_23
LDL-335
CHL/ HDL Ratio-17.0

AST is usually elevated in alcohol abuse and ALT is usually elevated in other internal liver problems. You havent mentioned anything about what could be causing it, but since you are on an AAS forum, im guessing you are on or have been on gear. Hepatitis is also a concern in elevated ALT. If it goes down significantly your doc will not do anything. Otherwise get ready for some more tests.
