Blood work results..

[lilone888]

Soo I got an MRI for my liver and also did another blood test. Liver enzymes were only slightly raised compared to being really high last test so that is fine. BUT NOOOOOW my doctor is telling me that my muscle enzymes are elevated too high. He said normal is 1000 and I'm up to 1400.. I'm getting really annoyed with this because if I had of went to a doctor that specialized in sports/fitness, I wouldn't have had to go back so many times for this bullshit. From researching, it can be elevated from exercise. Anyone else that could give me some info and if they had the same problem.. thanks..
ps. have not used aas or anything... just figured this would be the right place for answers..

I had the same issues. Went to the doc to test thyroid and test. Both came back low (but in the normal range). but AST and ALT here high, so I have an ultrasound scheduled for my liver. I'm pretty sure it's from exercise and the few drinks I had the night before (read it would lower test.. lol.. they forget to tell you it will raise your ALT and AST which will flag more tests and more $$ wasted). After the ultrasound, I'm done with that stuff.

Having more bloodwork done by THARC on thursday. I'm gonna not sip my normaly 1-2 drinks a night and see how that does. But I will continue to lift as I'm in a slump (feel fat).

I wish I would have just went with THARC to begin with. Go to a specialist, not a GP for this sort of thing. We've all read the stories were 9 out of 10 GPs won't touch TRT. And if they do, they mess it up by giving you the wrong stuff, no AI, etc.

If you trained the day before your test, your CK will be elevated.

Marathon runners have CKs in the tens of thousands after a race.

Personally, I see this as being related to the commercial/economic nature of the US medical system.

Doctors can claim more for additional tests and investigations if they have a legitimate reason to do so.

Therefore, they run with any abnormal blood test even though it is not clinically valid.

One blood test with elevated liver enzymes does not clinically justify a MRI scan.
