High protein and high kidney values

Shockmeister · Oct 5, 2005

I just got my blood work results back. Everything was normal except for my kidneys. I had been on a low dose course (200mg cypionate pw and 30mg d-bol per day) that I finished three weeks ago so my values shouldnt have been elevated by that. Is it possible these readings stem from high intake of protein (taking in 400-450grams daily) or a combination of aas and high protein? I drink a gallon of water a day so I'm drinking enough fluids.

PS - Wont know the exact readings until I get to the doc next week.

Did you train the day before the test or even 2 days before?
Heavy weight training raises BUN and sometimes creatine levels well beyond normal limits.
That's why I take 2-3 days off before the blood work in and go in very hydrated as well in a fasting state.

Yeah I trained back the night before and also did cardio in the am a few hours before the test.. I didnt know about stopping training prior to blood work.. Thanks for the tip Massive.. I'm scheduled to do further tests in two weeks so I'll skip training on mon and Tue and fast from the night before (well I'll try!)

As well as the muscle breakdown from recent workouts as MG mentioned, supplementing with creatine or even eating red meat 24 hrs before the bloodwork will also raise creatinine levels (creatinine is a by-product of creatine)

i have found it best not to train or take supps for atleast 24 hours before test and not to eat the last 12-18 hours.... as hard as it is not to eat if you do it will throw off the true test results..
