You seem to be anemic. The better measure of iron is ferritin though. Circulating iron can be up or down based on recent meals, things competing for absorption, etc.
Your high calcium can impede iron absorption. Zinc is a common suppliment that also does it. Drinking tea or coffee with your iron sup also. Taking vit c helps a lot.
Lots of kidney red flags that would have me dropping the tren right away. Are you drinking extra water?
Did you test a1c? It looks like your insulin sensitivity is also going down hill, which just makes everything else worse. Is your gh use higher than normal?

The lab photos in that post got deleted, had to “refresh” over here, what do u think? I apparently never even posted
the page with ha1C, etc.

Shit, not sure how that page got missed. Yeah, only .1 from pre-beetus. And I had been pushing gh towards 7-8 iu’s, 5-6 days per week. Back down to 4iu for now.
Obviously the gh, or how you use it, is the culprit
Yeah, even the iron/hemoglobin issues? Or just the ha1c you’re referring to? It’s oddly been 5.6 many times before, but never over, gh or not. I do try to chomp metformins and dihydroberberine to offset it. Reta too.Obviously the gh, or how you use it, is the culprit
Should I reduce to just one bolus a day, and stop the am/pm dosing? I was even considering the anti aging protocol in the Bolus book, big bolus MWF.

Just the hugh insulin and borderline a1c.
Ah damn, you're using two boluses per day. Yes, that is a big no no in regards to insulin sensitivity. Reduce to just one per day and keep 6h away from food. Best use of gh, in regards to insulin sensitivity is to do an am bolus and then fast/workout for 6 to 8h if possible. If you take it before sleep the liberated ffa's don't get as readily burned off.

Great input.
I knew there was more data I was probably missing...and I had not even had a chance to seriously ponder how the drugs were impacting things aside from definitely playing a role.

GH (mostly) via increase in erythropoiesis lowers hepcidin. I think I answered this in your previous thread ...?
I’m not finding my brother, can you link me or just explain a lil further?

Not much more to say really. It's doubtful that gh would decrease iron absorption.
I did get a full chest/abdominal ct scan recently, all good except a bit of LVH

GH is simply going to drive erythropoesis (along with a lot of other growth processes).
Didn't realize there was a whole other thread on this. Jin has given you the simplest advice you need...drop the GH, go on just TRT...and watch the values improve
Kidneys need investigation and you need to make sure the calcium is not continuing to climb (cancer is one of many things that can cause this...but could just be a random fluke).
I think I’ll go back to my Telmisartan without the diuretic too

Just be careful...can cause azotemia all by itself (and hyperkalemia).
Stop the HGH....recheck labs...ideally with urinalysis, few other renal parameters.
