Just talked to a buddy of mine at work, and he informed me that he has to go in for surgery because of high levels of creatine in his kidneys.
He said that one morning he noticed blood in his urine, so when his doctor did test, he found a high level of creatine in his kidneys. So, now they have to go in to see what's causing this.
The guy hasn't used creatine in years, so it's not that. Anybody heard of this, cause I'm thinking of not using it anymore?

has nothing to do with creatine.

what he had in his kdneys is creatinine. Guy probably didn't drink a lot and has a kidney problem before.

Proof that creatine is safe is that you say he hasn't used it in years.

Well, it's not the creatine, i'm positive about that.

If he hasn't taken it in years, how will it show up inside his kidneys? supplemented creatine leaves the body pretty fast, if you don't supplement it the body produces it itself.

You're asking a serious medical question on an internet board??

Dude, go get a bottle of coca cola and play in an ant colony, will you please?

for your information, I posted the same question on intensemuscle, and I got some very usefull help, and links to pass along. I guess your right, getbig, wasn't the site I should have posted this on. This site should only be used for bashing and insulting, won't happen again.

No, that's getbig.

But that thread over there didn't do nothing, a waste of bandwidth, whereas this thread here is good for some laughs, you little turtle.

Creatinine is the by product of creatine. If you take 5 grams of creatine monohydrate you only use about 1-2 grams at most, I prefer and suggest using a higher quality creatine to maximize absorbtion and take the worry out of using it.

are you sure he doesn't have high levels of creatinine in his blood. This would mean that his kidneys are not working at optimum levels. Creatinine is filtered out of the blood through the kidneys. IT is sad that he might have a kidney problem..Was he a juicer?
