Ok Get Big doctors.

I was at the doc last week and my blood work came back high levels of protein in the kidneys.
The chick that called with the results says the doctor wants me to come back in and retest in a week and maybe see a kidney guy.
What causes high protein leves in the kidneys? Mine were at 1.5.
Is is this because I'm a beast and eat shit loads of flesh and am a animal in the gym?
Or have I been cracking one off too many times a day. (I'm not stopping)

Nothing to do with the amount of protein you eat, has to do with your kidneys not being able to process it correctly. Two main causes are hypertension (high blood pressure) or diabetes. Did they test you for either? Are you on blood pressure meds? Push your doc to test your blood pressure and run a pre diabetes test.

Some findings are diet sodas, primarily aspartame kills your kidney. bodybuilders drink a lot when dieting to avoid sugars but don't realize how toxic they are. Also go buy some Cystone or Uriprotect himalaya and start taking it. Drink water.

Kidneys are not something you want to fuck with if you don't want to end up like Derek Anthony.

Hmmm. Stop that shit with sucking cocks and swollowing sperm, as your mother told you allready.
You will notice, that your protein level will drop to normal.

Hydrate with pure water. The kidneys have a tissue around them like a screen door. Excess protein clogs them. Water flushes them. Caffeine drinks and alcohol dehydrate you. Avoid like the plague for a week, drink that xtra (and I mean XTRA) water and demand to retake the test. Odds are 10-1 you were/are dehydrated. You should pass with flying colors. If not….kidney specialist.

Crack a few off, should take care of the problem.

Also I assume Doc did your BP and did a BUN test along with the kidney markers. A high BUN shows dehydration (among other things). Most Bodybuilders have a high BUN.

A lot of Bodybuilders (incl. moi for over 20 years) do the fire/ice approach. They push mother nature to the brink. On one hand copius amounts of protein, PEDs, and on the other take baby asprin, super hydrate, quarterly Doc visits/blood tests and donate blood every 6 weeks.

I normally drink about a gallon of water a day. I don't drink sodas very offten.

I was getting over the flu so I am sure I was dehydrated.

Thanks for all the input and no I do not want to end up like D.A.

Eat less meat/animal based protein(dont worry you won't 'shrink'), eat quality foods and keep drinking water and it should fix the problem

No more shakes?

Also don't count out your iron levels. High iron levels in the liver can effect the kidneys...A lot of people have to give blood to keep iron levels in check....

Protein in the blood or in the urine? Anything more than trace in urine means either some old jizz got in the sample (don't knock one out n hour before a piss test) or You're Fucked.

High blood levels, eGfr etc is just diet and training etc

Shakes are fine just stick to ones without tons of artificial/mysterious ingredients. If ur kidneys are not in good shape tho it is definitely not a good idea to eat huge amounts of proteins. You really dont need tons of it anyway

Consult with TBombz, did he had high level of protein ?

Karl I am a kidney specialist. High protein is not the result of high protein diets. You likely have a disease called a glomerulonephritis. I suspect being on GB that you have used anabolics at some point in your life, if not actively. Anabolic steroids are associated with a disease called FSGS or focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Proteinuria causes intrinsic inflammation in your kidneys and can lead to renal failure and dialysis in five years or less. I recommend you ask for a nephrology referral ASAP and cut out anabolics if you are using. Stop all NSAIDs like Advil, Motrin, or Aleve. If you smoke, quit immediately. I hope all goes well. You may need a renal biopsy if the renal specialist evaluates you and feels it is appropriate. Hope all is well...peace.

Karl,

bloodwork cannot tell you that you have protein in your kidneys (ie urine). It may show hypoalbuminemia or low serum albumin, for which a glomerulonephritis can be culprit. Hope that helps. A physician can do a test called a spot urine protein to spot urine creatinine to determine an approximate amount of protein being spilled in the kidneys. Stay strong and get a referral ASAP. Family medicine docs are amateurs in kidney disease and you need a renal specialist. If you live in FL let me know and I will try to help you out.

Maybe I misunderstood what she was saying. But I thought she said protein. What ever is was I remember her saying the level was 1.5. I have used pro hormones in the past but not since 2010. Curently the only thing I take is a Pre workout or creatine from time to time. When I was 21 I had a kidney stone if that tells you anything. I didn't do urine only blood. What would have come back on that test? They want me to come back in to retake the blood test. Should I ? Or should I just try to see a kidney specialist ? I'm in Dallas BTW.

my goodnes karl listen closely when asking doctor stuff.

bloodtest cant establish those parameters you claim.

you dont even have the unit for your 1.5 parameter.

Part of the problem was it wasn't the doctor that called me it was some receptionist or some shit. It's still no excuse your right.

Also I had the flu prior to this. I was on antibiotics and the doc had me taking 4 ibprophen every 4 hrs until my fever broke. Could that elevate those levels?

Ok....what the FUCK.

I got out of the hospital on Dec27th. I was severely ill with a throat infection. Bedridden for three weeks..missed work etc....I just didn't tell anyone or ask for money .

While I was there I requested a urine test and the Protien came back + 25. The doctor said I'm fine and have nothing to worry about. Is he an asshole ?
