WAS IT ALT AND AST? JUST GET ANOTHER TEST. LETS NOT PUSH THE PANIC BUTTON YET. GET ON SYNTHERGINE PLEASE.

He probably tested you for ast and alt. You should also get bilirubin tested.

drinking

if your doc is hinting at the possibility of a fatty liver it's time to quit drinking. i certainly don't want to come off like i'm preaching but i've always felt aas or drinking alcohol but not both. don't panic, looks like you are not anywhere near the possibility of reversing any damage if there is any at all.

You didn't happen to have a workout in the 24 hours before your blood test did you?

I am getting retested tomorrow as my doctor told me weight training skewed my results.

Vander....dont freak bro. Ive seen way worse. Give me a buzz...Ive been meaning to call you back but have been busier than hell. Talk to you later man.

GoneForever · Aug 1, 2007

If you took any advil,tylenol,alieve, recently they will be elevated

Dave_19 · Aug 1, 2007

my levels have been higher and came down, but drinking doesn't mix with any gear even a bit of test. just calm down with the drinking for a few months, take lots of synthergine, milk thistle, liv52, h20, fiber, low sodium/fat diet, and be sure to exercise cardio/weight train. That is what helped me. time and patience are important.

This is true.

I too have had liver problem's for allmost a year now. I travel to China quite often so they were chasing some form of Hep or a virus. But none ever found. Then I went in and had an CONTRAST MRI and the diognosis was a FATTY LIVER. My doc explained that this IS due to Liver damage, the cell's get damaged and actually swell with fat deposits. The good new's is I stopped drinking beer and as of this week have made great improvements. Still not where they should be, but getting better which is good. The culprit from all logic was alcohal.

In my opinion Alcohal is worse than any oral. By the way I also dont use them either.

HERCSTA · Aug 1, 2007

Many things effect ALT levels including: training, certain supplements, NSAIDS, alchohol and more. I have had ALT levels as high as 120 while on no gear and I do not drink. I stopped all supplements and did not train for two weeks and my levels were down to 45. High ALT do not necessarily mean you have fatty liver. This can only be diagnosed ny ultrasound or CT scan. As a precaution I had a liver ultrasound; I did not have fatty liver, my liver was perfectly healthy.

Ultrasound is tomorrow at 9, ill keep everyone posted as to what happens.

I'm with you Vander, I'm in the same boat right now. My ALT was at 120 a few weeks ago. Since then I've been taking Synthergine, and Perfect Cycle from Anabolic Innovations. Hopefully its gone down some with the self medicating. I'll be following your results very closely. Hopefully in your case its just due to the intake of supps and the extracuricular drinking and nothing too serious. I'm pulling for you bro.

Bump for updates bro!!

HELLA SWOLE · Aug 3, 2007

I have had similar results in my blood work when I got it doen within a day or two after a heavy leg or back session. I went back and got them re-done the next week after taking 5 days off from the gym and all was good. Keep us updated and good luck,but take care of yourself with all that drinking bro, you only have one liver ...you don't want to fuck with it (i know from experience as you already probably know).

I dont think you can buy stuff in a health food store that is the active ingredients in Synthergine. It is the same stuff a doctor would put you on. Order some up, and you do not have to inject it. It is just as potent taken orally. The taste is a bit harsh so mix it in some diet coke or Jack Daniels
