Title: IFBB PRO Darren Ball gets mum's kidney
Post by: che on September 06, 2014, 06:45:30 PM
http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/Champion-body-builder-Darren-Brown-gets-mum-s/story-22877355-detail/story.html

Champion bodybuilder Darren Ball is today undergoing a kidney transplant thanks to his mother.

The South Wigston father-of-two was struck down with kidney failure in November last year and relied on dialysis four times a week.

Mum Katrina, 52, proved a match for her son and agreed to be a live donor.

The day Darren hopes will change his life began at 8.30am when his mother was taken to theatre to have a kidney removed.

So if his kidney problems were "genetic" (as the surely must be!) won't his mum's donor kidney fail on him and then the one she has left fail on her too?

Wait!  He still has his two kids to bum  at least two more replacements from! 
What a piece of work this "pro" is.

He still trains and will continue training after the op. Hopefully not as recklessly. He lost a lot of size.

He is a deluded man, he had a small window where he looked ok, but as with all insulin monsters he totaly fucked his physique, this man had a few health warnings and totally ignored them, for a dream that even the man on the street could tell you was never going to happen...

He went from normal heavy to nasser overnight, this was never going to end well

He has been talking of competing while waiting for this transplant.
Had a long time to sort his failing kidneys around 18mnths i hear
choose to ignore that.
With two young lads & being around 34 I would seriously hope he
stops the Gear, sadly i doubt it.

If its your kid, whether they are into drugs, stealing , drinking or whatever there still your bairn at the end of the day, so even if your moron son blows his kidneys after lots of warning, you'd still do anything to help them

Steroid induced sky high blood pressure that spikes to astronomical levels when lifting combined with kidneys being clogged with site injection oil then the triple whammy of diuretics. If he juices instead of training for health and fitness after the operation he deserves what he gets. He should take up running and body weight exercises and call it a day.

The sad thing is that Branch was actually pretty gifted during his amateur period and the first few years of his career. It were rather the injuries, tears and the delusional "bigger is better" route that made him a train wreck...

His genetics is so so to poor compared to the competition

My point still stands that his genetics still enabled him to win contests and place top 5 at the O over superior genetically gifted builds

Many of Branch' wins as a pro aren't deserved, but my point is that his current look is rather the result of other factors than poor genetics.

I did get a kidney check up not too long ago, everything came back good and will follow up.

Cholesterol should also be monitored as if you have consistently high values you are pretty much heading towards clogged arteries sooner or later...I'm not one of those live strong die young bull shitters, I want to be healthy in my 60's and 70's.

I don't use high doses and I don't eat too much protein...I also have breaks where I don't train rigorously and come off completely. Although kidney damage is not reversible, I would never take anywhere neatr a gram, my bp is always within range and my protein intake never exceeds 200 a day.

Cholesterol levels, liver function, kidney function, -very important- blood pressure and maybe your heart rate.
Doctors aren't spies, so there's no reason to hide things. Tell him/her about your cycle (compounds, dosages & period).

TBH I don't even tell my doctors Im on anything....I have life insurances and critical illness and private medicals...etc all of which would rendered void with these revelations....I'm not like the trainer at 250lbs 8%bf so for the untrained eye so it's not obvious.

I come off everything, wait two months then do a test, this way I know exactly where I stand.

I have a BP machine at home...you can buy accurate ones for 40 quid and so on....if it's high there's a lot you can do yourself to bring it down immediately, mostly diet related.

TBH I don't even tell my doctors Im on anything....I have life insurances and critical illness and private medicals...etc all of which would rendered void with these revelations....I'm not like the trainer at 250lbs 8%bf so for the untrained eye so it's not obvious.

I come off everything, wait two months then do a test, this way I know exactly where I stand.

I have a BP machine at home...you can buy accurate ones for 40 quid and so on....if it's high there's a lot you can do yourself to bring it down immediately, mostly diet related.

Physicians have the duty of medical secrecy, but there's no need to explain things in case you know exactly which tests you need and he/she isn't asking for your motivation. I guess this policy differs from doc to doc and from country to country.

Pretty smart strategy you follow. I remember that Galeniko had a similar approach.

In the UK as we have free NHS, everyone has a medical file, doctors put all notes of all consultations on there. If I say I took steroids and want to check this or that or if I go in with high BP or liver values...etc and admit to AAS it will go on the medical file.

When you sign up for insurance you must consent to their access to this otherwise you won't get it.

Reading some of these replies makes me shake my head. It's like saying you can smoke. Just get a physical from a doctor from time to time. In the US law suits are flying because statistically you are more likely to suffer from a heart attack or stroke if you are taking low level testosterone replacement. One doctor on tv said that he believes the problem is that it thickens the blood. Now imagine the amount of steroids guys take to build muscle?  I know there is lot of counter stuff out there about these law suits out there.  The thing is there are no real studies involving recreational drug use by bodybuilders. All we have is empirical knowledge. Where there is smoke there is fire. Knowledge gained by observation shouldn't be discounted. Sometimes it can be the best evidence you can have about cause and effect.

I believe the amount of kidney problems we are seeing is from three things. High blood pressure bought on by increased weight (both muscle and fluid) from steroids. If you have high blood pressure and spiking it by lifting weights is a recipe for problems. Guys using oil injections. The kidneys have to filter that stuff out. Sure some oil on a salad gets digested and that's the way the body is made to use vegetable oil. Injecting vegetable oil into a muscle is just insanity. The kidneys are getting clogged trying to filter that crap out of your blood. Lastly it's diuretics.

Once I went to the doctors because I had a sore injection site on my right delt that wouldn't cool down for ever (wife wouldn't drop it so went along) he says to me "Are you currently self injecting with any medication" lol, I said no doctor I went fishing with my son and when I was casting the hook hit my shoulder and it wasn't a very clean hook, he says yes you need to be more careful "Find somewhere you can buy better hooks"  ;D

I think he knew lol, he means somewhere you can buy better underground injectable substances

I also want to keep it away from anything like that, let's say if you ever had any legal troubles, something like this could be pulled to tarnish your image. Some people see steroid users in the same light as heroine users, that's the reality.

Any serious juicer quickly comes to understand that there is little to no point of even training without juice. Anyone asking if this man is juicing is either a non-lifter or a lifetime natty. Either way if you have to ask you look like shit.

His gym is about 15mls from me in Leicester
Not been over for a good few months.
Might try & get over.
Rumor was he's on some gear / GH.
Although he is a lot lighter.
With young Children to think of I would hope he has learnt something.
Word from a nurse at the hospital, he was aware of kidney problems for
At least 18months prior to them packing up.

I wish him Good health mentally & physically.
