Well, for the most part, pretty good. However, your cholesterol and trigycerides are BAD. See below for recommended chol. values.
- Liver seems good, except your alk phos (ALP) is about 2x normal. Some intrahepatic cholestasis, likely from orals.
- kidneys normal
- cortisol OK if taken in AM
- hemoglobin / Hct a bit high....may be the AAS (stimulates red blood cell production), maybe a bit dehydrated, or are on epo?
- Bro, your triglycerides are quite high - at least 2x normal upper limit and about 5x average range. Your HDL (good cholesterol) is about half of what it should be. Your LDL is OK. Consider lowering fatty food intake and consider meds called "statins" - like Zocor, Lipitor, etc. ...talk to your doc about it.
- Otherwise, looks fine.
Hope that helps!
Below was cut & pasted from a general web site:
LDL CHOLESTEROL
Less than 100 Optimal Goal
100 to 129 Close to Optimal
130 to 159 Borderline High
160 to 189 High
190 or higher Very high (definite risk)
HDL CHOLESTEROL
Less than 40 Low (High Risk)
60 or higher High (Optimal)
TRIGLYCERIDES
Less than 150 Optimal Goal
TOTAL CHOLESTEROL
Less than 200 Optimal Goal
200 to 239 Borderline High
240 or higher High
Meaning of Cholesterol Numbers
Having your cholesterol checked to determine the range of where the
cholesterol level falls is an important step to better health!
A good rule to follow is that any "total" cholesterol reading below 200
is good and anything over 240 indicates that you are at risk for
developing coronary disease. In addition, your LDL cholesterol should
measure below 130 and your HDL cholesterol should range between 35 and
40. When the HDL, or "good" cholesterol, reaches 60 or higher, you
actually have the benefit of reducing your chance of heart attack.
Not everyone is thrilled about having blood drawn, but bear in mind
that this particular test is quite simple and very inexpensive. To get
accurate results, be sure to have the test performed by a qualified
physician. Using portable devices or home-based kits often times
produce inaccurate results.
Some things will alter the test and not provide a true reading. If any
of the items listed below apply to you, be sure you notify your
physician and lab technician before your blood is drawn:
Exercise immediately preceding the test
Pregnancy
Illness
Certain medications
Recent surgery
To get the best cholesterol reading possible, there is some preparation
involved:
Do not eat or drink anything other than water for a minimum of 14-16
hours before the test is done
Do not exercise before blood is drawn
Get plenty of rest before the test.
