Curious as to how many out there over 40 have this. My liver values are always elevated and the VA has even sent me to have ultrasound on my liver to make sure things are A-OK. I had some lab work done yesterday and came back with the following "out of range":

Creatinine- 1.30 H (ref 0.60 -1.29)
Alkaline Phosphatase- 35 L (ref 36-130 U/L)
AST- 56 H (10-40 U/L)
ALT- 54 H (9-46 U/L)

I worked out pretty heavy and intense about 5 hours before this blood draw and was really only interested in my T and E labs from being on 200mg of Test-C per week for TRT. Pretty happy with those:

TESTOSTERONE, TOTAL-1159 H (ref 250-827) ng/dL
ESTRADIOL - 24 (ref </= 39 pg/mL)

test taken at 1100 Wednesday morning, typical regiment is .33 ml 200mg Test-C M,W,F morning. Did not pin until after blood draw.


I realize these liver values are hardly elevated and I don't have a history of being an alcoholic, abusing pills, or using orals. Wondering if this could be a side effect from the Crestor I take for my cholesterol or maybe it's just how my body is. I've had values like this for a quite a while now.

Curious how many out there also have NAFLD and what you do to "treat" it...or is this just something I put on my "pay it no mind" list.

The good thing is next month I have a physical with my non-VA PCP and he will do a full workup so I can see how the values are and discuss with him.
 
Pretty common for someone who trains with weights.
 
my kidneys are usually a little off, but i workout 5 am and wont usually skip. so im dehydrated a little usually.

if you workout alot liver/kidneys might be off a tad.
 
I was told I have NAFLD and needed to tighten up my diet which honestly, at the time, was pretty bad. I don't drink. Don't even use Nyquil. Don't take ibuprofen etc etc. I do use a statin, well, 2 statins. I do use Celebrex occasionally when my arthritis acts up but thankfully that's not very often as of late. Anyway, I'm rambling. Point being, in my doesn't make any sense kind of way, I don't think you have anything to worry about. 👍

Last comp panel after cleaning up....

GGT is more specific to the liver. You could ask your doctor to check that value.

Hope you don't mean me or you need more help than you know. 😂 Everybody else is good though. 👍
 
As Bolan implied: Creatinine is a by-product of muscle activity. When you lift weights or do cardio and stress your muscles, your body creates creatinine. The harder you work and the closer to the test time, the more creatinine will be in your blood.

I found this out the expensive way when I had bloods drawn by my doctor once within an hour of running for an hour and a second time an hour after very intensive weight lifting. He sent me to a kidney specialist saying that my numbers (creatinine) indicated I was in stage 4 kidney failure. Fortunately, the kidney guy was not a complete moron, but I still had to pay for ultrascan of kidney and more tests. After the other tests, he said my kidney was running at 98%. So much for that creatinine number!
 
And you spelled it correctly.... 1,2,3,4....5 times 👏😂
 
My liver values were out of range for 30 years and my Dr.s didn't care as they knew i trained and ate large amounts of protein. As both can raise the amount of enzyme that the standard test checks for. Now that my training is more moderate and i only eat 200gr of protein a day my values are mid range.
