High Levels of Protein in the Kidneys

[El Diablo Blanco]

I'm curious about the foamy piss as well. I remember mine even being foamy as a kid. I'd shoot the bubbles with my stream like battle ships. After reading all this about kidney issues, I'm a little freaked out.

As a kid your kidneys are too small to process too much protein and sodium.  Sodium is bad for kids.  Kids will eat 6 mcnuggets which for an adult is 50% of the daily sodium but for a kid that weighs 45 pounds that is 200% of the daily needed sodium.  Add in the other shit kids eat and kidneys are working overtime.  Now when they say foamy urine as an adult, they don't mean little bubbles, but almost like you added a splash of soap in the toilet and have bubbles on top of bubbles.  This is bad and a lot of protein, but again it has nothing to do with your diet of eating too much protein.  It has to do with hypertension, diabetes, diet sodas and fake sugars and sodium intake.

You shouldn't be. It is very unlikely you had kidney disease when you were a kid with foamy urine. Don't be a hypochondriac. If you are really concerned have a blood test to see what your kidney function is. Asking folks on a bodybuilding website gossip forum who likely have no medical training nor specialize is nephrology is absurd. The best anyone can offer is personal opinion which could be worthless.

Both test came back almost exactly the same.

Karl,

What did your doctor say to you about your labs? If there is a problem, surely your doctor has offered some advice. Despite that Johnny Falcon is our resident witch doctor here, his advice as well as that of others here should be taken with a grain of salt....well maybe not salt if you have hypertension, which is one of the causes of kidney disease.

I know more about kidney disease then I ever imagined I would because my wife has had chronic kidney disease for years due to her being diabetic. I take her to her doctor appointments and go in with her to ask the doctor questions she might not think of. For the last nine days, my wife has been in the hospital with total (acute) kidney failure. Even with this level of involvement in my wife's health, I suspect I know very little about kidney disease. What I do know is you need your kidneys to work in order for you to stay alive. If they fail completely as my wife's have, you are faced with the choice of undergoing dialysis or dying. Currently she's getting dialysis every other day and she's still not doing very well.

Johnny,

Super high protein diets are actually contraindicated in patient's with renal disease. As stated before, your body can only utilize so much protein and excess amounts (especially in those who spill protein in the urine) actually cause more inflammation and damage. Moderation is key.

Don't pay him no never mind. It's vegetarian one day, carnivore the next. Eat only Kale this week and it's all about grape juice the next. The once brilliant Falcon has fried his brain.

The regular doctor just said that I might want to see a kidney specialist. I actually made an appointment for one tomorrow earlier this week. 
I wish the best for you and your wife.

the key is to only eat meat and let the meat rest in your stomach this way the kidneys can deal with the meat and gain more protien

Sounds like you've been takin a ride on the fagget-wagon

Stop being a bitch and just look down and yell "Man the fuck up kidneys and do your fucking job".

This is good news. I was concerned you were seriously looking for health advice from your fellow Getbiggers. Although doctors are just practicing medicine, they are mostly better informed about these things. The one thing I know for sure is that your kidneys are nothing to mess around with.

He's back in shape? The last photos I saw that he'd posted, he still looked pretty out of shape in as much as he looked like he could afford to get somewhat leaner.

And exactly how do you let meat rest in your stomach, Falcon? Hopefully, you are being sarcastic, but in case you are not, too much protein, particularly from red meat, is not advised for people with kidney problems. Our systems are a lot more complex than you seem to realize.

Did you see the article I posted about folks who eat red clay and end up with packed/backed up colons? Pretty interesting stuff. I could find nothing to support the theory that red clay is actually beneficial to one's health. Are you still eating that stuff?

He is getting there quickly.
