Sorry im new to this.

thank you for your time and input, I only take BP meds which really didn't help me much when i was over 200.. now my BP is usually around 110/79, i feel fine, nothing feels off based on some information i found on AI regarding the matter..
As I mentioned earlier, high blood pressure is the worst for kidneys. Keep us dated please, I'm also dealing with kidney issues. Egfr of 55 cystatin c egfr of 65, creatinine of 128, those are my numbers. I don't think the creatinine is as big of an issue as intense exercise, high protein and muscle will increase that number. Cystatin c test is the one you need.

-as of 1st week of May, i was 185lbs. did a calorie deficit and went on a cruise of just test for 200mg between may and june.

-did some research and started to plateau so i decided to do a Reta and Tesa stack.
1mg of reta first month, 2 mg of reta after 4 weeks, jumped to 4mg of Reta and lost 10lbs.

-did a cycle of 400 test 400mast p and 50mg of anavar. finished my cycle by the end of August

currently at 174lbs with 15%bf as per chatGPT :)

I don’t mean to worry you or anything, but your egfr is pretty scary, especially at only 43 years old.. where was your egfr when you last got bloods?? Creatinine egfr can be an inaccurate marker, but it is usually in the ballpark unless extremely dehydrated, if I were you I would stop all anabolics besides trt, and go see a doctor asap and do a urine anaylysis along with a cystatin C, and make sure u drink atleast half a gallon of water before this.

Also your HCT is borderline high and you need to do cardio and drink water, don’t be lazy and blood dump. Drink more water, get the lower end of recommended dietary iron, and do cardio. Get proper electrolyte balance, and no those shit little Costco packs 9/10 times are awful do not use those. Every single time I have dealt with someone who has had “ HCT issues” they’ve been resolved in a few panels by tracking water intake, and doing cardio. It’s not that hard, on my current cycle I’m drinking upwards of 2 gallons a day, HCT is 0.43 because I’m well hydrated.
injections have been EOD, BP is 110/79 most of the time, highest would be around 120/87ish..

This also is not too great. Your diastolic is pushing the top of where it should be, definitely work on that. High diastolic is genuinely easily to fix and it’s just lifestyle error. For one you should be doing 15-30 mins of dedicated zone 2-3 cardio a day, at minimum. One of the bare minimum things you can do while running anabolics, second of all you should watch your sodium to potassium ratio as id imagine it would be pretty bad around the time you got a reading of 120/87, third of all add in 5-10mg daily tadalafil, I found for me personally that tadalafil dropped my diastolic more than systolic.


You need to care about your health, if u are too lazy to care about ur health and put in the effort it takes to try and be healthy while using peds then don’t use them at all.

Sorry if I came off harsh, don’t mean to come , just direct. When people just starting taking PEDs with little knowledge it stresses me the fuck out 🤣, because almost all damage can be mitigated with a few days of research.

I am aware that you declared your inexperience and are here asking for help, that's cool but I'm gonna be blunt. I'm also only gonna come with a simple message and leave any help you get here to others. Ultimately no one is going to look out for you effort wise better than you can.
IMO this whole setup has the potential to be a life altering disaster. The negs are greater than the sum of their parts, the worst kind of synergy. Your kidney and CV health are both already compromised, continuing on the same path only has one logical conclusion.
Some may disagree and choose to call me an alarmist, I won't be defending my post. My advice is to ignore anyone who minimizes this and get to work straightening it out. Read the posts by @BIGNEWF and @BC Knucklehead carefully and FFS get drinking some water, a significant amount more than you have been. Everyday.
I just donated blood on earlier during the day and had a my bloods done on that same day, just later in the afternoon.. as for supps, i don't really take much except for magnesium.
I chose this post to reply to because this is definitely an error. That skews your bloodtest results. At a minimum your HB, HCT and RBC will all be affected, possibly/probably be higher than shown, other things too, either way it's been affected.
Although your BF% numbers posted are a guess at best another thing besides just neg "health" effects that makes me call it a mess is that if they were true that means you have lost 11 lbs of lean tissue. As always, check my math but with 2-4 times natty T levels plus var and mast even with a shit diet there is no way in hell that should be happening. And yes I saw the peptides.

I don't react like this too often, I post because I care, just so you know if you were a real life friend or family I'd be grabbing you by the shoulders and shaking the shit out of you if you didn't act on this.

thank you for the feedback and i truly appreciate it.. but i think this has been on of the best bloodwork i think i have had ever had for 10 years..
my diastolic has always been in at a higher range.. back in 2022 i had a reading of 152/105 and usually diastolic would be around 89-100.. so since i started PED's, i actually did research a bit on some stuff such as calorie intake/macros and it's because of my interest in PED's and not being lazy and irresponsible about it that i have come to learn about bloodwork & what is happening to my body. Since starting PEDs I have been able to feel good about myself again, have the workout 5x a week and drop from 212lbs to 174lbs and not just lose weight but build muscle too.. but i guess i am still lazy because i don't do cardio and drink enough water lol. but i do care about my health...
i guess i care more about my looks than my health lol :)

again thank you for the feedback.. i will go to the doctor tomorrow.drink more water.... and try to do cardio... "try"

cheers!
