Blood Work

[bigjd69]

I had some blood work taken today and received a call from one of my DRS. Associates who said that my CPK level is 498. I am a little nervous right now, I've been on HGH and Test for about 3 weeks, plus my chest is tight. Has anyone ever heard or been thru this, I think that I have to stop my cycle, until I get to the bottom of this.

What is CPK? And what is the ref. range?

 

[Smokescreen]

OH! And how much Test and GH have you been taking?

 

[bigjd69]

CPK is a blood test that measures Creatine Phosphokinase, my levels were 498 really not sure right now what the norm is. About 3 weeks ago I started HGH 3ius in the morning 5 days 2 off, along with a Test Cream

I am pretty sure that CPK levels can be elevated with intense anaerobic exercise like weightlifting. When damage occurs to the muscles, CPK is released. The Doctor should look for the 3 other enzymes that occur with liver damage. Even one of the enzymes they look at for liver damage is known to be elevated in lifters, but there is at least one that is supposed to be liver specific. I would ask the doctor about the liver enzymes.

i think he is correct cpk levels are related to muscle damged and hard training can raise them
iam not sure what the norm is does you doc know you weight train

 

[bigjd69]

Yes he does know that I am a weightlifter, I am just paranoid because of my cycle

 

[Smokescreen]

You're paranoid of taking fucking Test and GH?! Come on!!! Paranoid you should be when taking a whole bunch of stuff combined. But Test and GH????? Dude!

CPK is an indicator muscle damage.
It is high because of strenous work out.
Don't worry.
But if your urine turns pink, go to your MD right away.

So what you guys are saying is that the drugs have nothing to do with it?

Yes. Only exercise.
