One more thing brother if I can pick your brain is there anything else you see as a concern? Liver enzymes slightly elevated due to sdrol and obvious aas test and npp currently running NAC, milk thistle, l-glutathione (twin tiger) to support liver. Should I throw in some Tudca as well? Only running 4 weeks max on sdrol and dropping it.

you are doing plenty for liver and 4 weeks and then off, liver regenerates quickly so dont panic. also dont drink or do stupid drugs, bodybuilding is to be taken seriously and its a healthy lifestyle thats the whole point. to be the BEST version of yourself.
Is it possible you were dehydrated when you had the bloods pulled? Drink caffeine or alcohol?
Did you do a CMP & CBC? If yes can you post the complete results with ranges...you're obviously in the process of educating yourself on how to review bloods & identity possible issues. The more variables that are identified, providing the big picture, the better the odds of success.
In regards to hematocrit...how's your BP? This combination is what I've always focused on. As far as IP's comments...yes 52 'alone' is not a big concern. What concerns me is a level of 52 combined with high BP. My BP is usually @ 140's/80's. For this reason I don't like my hematocrit to be above 45. Although I don't like those BP #'s after 21yrs of running AAS I'm not too concerned. I came off my OTC protocol for @ a yr and my BP jumped to 160/98. Got bk on the OTC's and it dropped back down.
IMO, as far as reviewing bloods drawn from a BB'r hobbyist, it's not about one or a few health markers, it's about all the health markers. IMO organ stress or blood deficiencies/conditions combined with high BP is a reason for concern.
I'm a guy who always encourages and appreciates sharing data that can be substantiated. In cases like this tho there is no cookie cutter fix all. Phlebotomy is my go to once my hematocrit passes 45 and it's yielded the desired results for me. I have probably on average done this once a yr and I immediately feel better.
At one point I refused to donate because I thought why would I give away blood full of expensive ass hormones. How would I respond if I donated more often, hell I don't know, but at this point watching my health markers and donating accordingly has worked for me.
How about some basic stats? Age, height, weight, bf%?
For Liver protection I've always used NAC & Tudca while on orals and I add Milk Thistle once off the orals.
This OTC protocol has always been a favorite of mine. A friend recently approached me in regards to high hemoglobin and I encouraged him to look in to my OTC regimen. A fews after starting it his markers were back in range.
Ubiquinol
Fish Oil
Garlic
Red Yeast Rice
Berberine
Curcumin Phytosome
Grapefruit extract (or 1 LG fruit ED)
Green Tea
Well I've used "sportive nature" before but my reference was in regards to an individual being "playful." Potátoe - Potatoe huh.
This is of a specific interest to me, one - because I love reviewing bloods over the yrs I rep'd Sources I've seen 100's and two - as of late my wife suffers from restless legs.
I'd love to dive in to the data you've provided and do my own homework. Can ya provide some links to your references to give me a jump start?
I have no issue finding data that references general health but not specifically in reference to an individual BB'r or AAS user.
Appreciate it....thx IP.
sure thing, which date would u like? about hct? that one seems very logicl as its just out of range and sportive people usually have higher HB and HCT, even my endo calls it very good. sedentary people are totally different. same like i eat tons of protein which for normal person would be way too much.
Your RDW is actually the variation in the size of your blood cells. So what your high RDW means as that your red cells very in size (some smaller some bigger). Your MCV being low means that the average size is low. Your hematocrit is the percent of your blood that is red blood cells and not plasma so regardless of the size your blood is "thicker" than it should be. I would expect this with adding gear. Your body is reacting by making new cells which are small at first and because you already had good blood supply you also have plenty of mature larger blood cells. I personally think this would be a perfect case for therapeutic phlebotomy but I'm not by any means an expert in hematology
