Blood Test Results and How to Interpret Them a GUIDE

[Massive G]

I see a lot of posts on blood results and what do they mean? Most don't know what most of the more specific tests are looking for or why the results may be off. These links below specify normal ranges in blood tests (remember there is some variance among the population)

Blood results

Massive G & guys,

Thanks for the post. But is there any table for what is normal among bodybuilders? For example, logically, the creatinine would be higher, since there is more muscle mass. Maybe around 1.5 or so, instead of <1.2. And the hematocrit probably higher due to diet or AAS, so around 54 or so.

My doc freaks out when he sees my CBC and has sent me to all sorts of costly specialist--the kidney guy alone charged me for 90 min consult and $790.00. (Now in despute.)

My test was 6,000 and my doc was really pissed. He cited all sorts of dire predictions but he's not a sports doc & doesn't life--although he encouraged me to hit the gym again after an illness.

So are there charts or all of this pioneer territory? And can anybody recommend a good sports doc in NYC who is a lifter. I think he might have a different view.

Great Links

Thanks for posting these links, heading to dr myself and want to know where I stand. Going to look for a doc in AZ that is understands the lifting culture and the bloodwork that goes with it. My current docs idea of working out is rolling his chair back and forth during an examination

32 Years Old, Low Testosterone

Looking for feedback, just did my first blood panel after getting over Strepthroat. I was eager to try TB-500 for some old injuries so I wanted to do a comparison of levels asap. I used trenadrol and massdrol for extended periods of time and prior to that I worked in a container factory. The factory came first and sometimes I would feel hot and lethargic, but just thought it was environment and dehydration. About six years later I started new workout routine and tried rotating between tren and massdrol for 6+ months each and just felt tight and very inflexible and hot flashes, so I went off both when they were recalled. Current natural T levels 4.3 and 228/1197 a week after strepthroat. Any thoughts on the cause? Environment working with chemicals? Too much of prohormones? Or genetic? Father isobese with depression and started gaining weight in mid twenties. Current weight for me 220, bench 290 squat 405. Thank you, any feedback appreciated.
