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.
ya, I have been hearing a lot about this latelyThis is interesting and have never heard this before.
I did have an issue with low iron which could not be sorted.
Hey guys! I've been on gear for about 8 months now..
-as of feb 2026
212lbs. 5'7. 43M. +25% bf..(i think)
started with just test c for 300mg a week and 20mg of anavar/day then increased to 400mg and 50mg anavar/day after the first month and stayed on this cycle for 2months
-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

, because almost all damage can be mitigated with a few days of research.
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.
I gave it a "wow" cause of the timing, according to some old saying I believe you are now a great mind
lolthank 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..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.
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
At 54 my Egfr was 78. Now I didn't stop creatine intake and trained legs the night before which I know increased my creatine levels and wrecked the test. Normally 89.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!
--where was your egfr when you last got bloods??

Sorry, I didn't see your reply. I am extremely short on time and have an opinion on your situation as you added more info. I will read it when I have more information but did see you mention low amounts of protein, blood work being off, and high BP, plus use of PED's and one oral that can be hard on the kidneys.
