Low T/Liver Function

[Guest guest]

My total testosterone has been measured at 242. I am 48. My doc

says that that is low-normal. From what I have studied, I don't

think it is actually normal/preferred.

My question is - why does my doc slam the door shut on T therapy,

because of my elevated liver functions? I have a fatty liver from

alcohol and/or chemicals that I have used for years. I built an

airplane using epoxy for 11 1/2 years. It is my understanding that

a fatty liver causes analysis to show " elevated liver functions " .

After several months of alcohol abstinence, my liver functions were

still elevated. I wish I had the numbers to back up what the doc

told me indicated that my liver functions were elevated.

Is it that T therapy will/would cause additional hardship on my

already stressed liver?

Unlike a lot of people, my main reason for wanting to try getting my

T levels in the upper portion of normal, is that I want my brain to

work like it used to and I have a problem with muscle

retention/development. I have a problem with my shoulder

(inpingement syndrome) that my physical therapist says would benefit

from developing the muscles involved.

I am anxious to receive any suggestions.

Thanks.
