I recently had blood drawn 4 weeks after using Test Cyp, Winstrol, and EQ. My creatinine level was 1.7 on a scale of .5-1.2 and my BUN was at the top of the range at 20. Is this due to AAS or the high protein/low carb diet I am on?
Yes, its probably a combination of high protein intake and most likely some mild dehydration. Those combined will throw off the levels that much. There is tons of info on this all over the internet. Nothing to worry about.
Last time I had blood work done, my creatinine kinease levels were high. My doctor thought it was from taking creatine, which I was at the time. He said that creatine breaks down into creatinine.
Creatinine levels are a product of muscle breakdown. Most muscular athletes will have slightly higher levels just because they have more muscle mass that is being broken down via exercises at any given moment. As for BUN levels, this is a product of protein. Slightly elevated levels are nothing to worry about, since all normal ranges have been taken using the “average joe” as a bench mark, not your muscular high performance athlete. If BUN levels get to high however, you could begin to run into gall bladder stones, kidney stones, and gout. I recomend keeping well hydrated and avoiding alcohol as much as possible.
How much red meat do you consume in a day?
If your asking me I would say anywhere from 0-150 grams - depending on whats on the menu for the day.
I was asking him because if you consume 2 lbs of red meat a day your creatinine levels become elevated.
So if you are eating such amounts of red meat, roids, dehydrated and take creatine elevated creatinine levels should be expected.

Only 150 grams? So whats your main protein source besides powders?
White meat? eggs? ice cream?
