Possible kidney issues

[bukotitanico]

Hey guys!
Ive experienced some weird since a month. Ive started with intermitente pain in the right flank. With the weeks the pain increased and irradiates to my groins. Last week i developed bone pain and a muscle disconfort due to decreased of Athletic performance. 14 days ago my phosphate decreased to 1.8 and 7 days ago increased to 2.2 ( still low ). I was in emergency room 3 times but they not found blood or protein in urine.
Creatinine last time was highest as always, but 12 hours ago ive trained(1.32). Normally is between 1.1-1.25

Any thoughs about it ?

it is rally not high creatinine for guy who workout besides, nothing is known about you - your history, past and present use of gear, whether you have hypertension and whether you are treating it, check cystatin-C and do a kidney ultrasound first

Thanks for repliying!! Appreciate it.
Ive used gear during 4 months every year between 2014-2020 ( except 2018 9 months on ). Doses between 500-1gr total weekly ( most times 600mg). In sept 2021 started with trt ( 150mg/week) and between 2022-2025 use 4 month every year 400mg ( only primo and test). No hypertension, i check normally at home and my Numbers 125/69. But yesterday in emergencies 138/79. In january cistatin c was on range. This week ill check again and will do an ecography

Any chance of a urinary tract infection or prostate issues? Like luki stated those numbers aren't alarming at all. Did you look at BUN or egfr? Protein in urine? Albumin and k levels?

That's basically a normal creatinine level. Heck the reference range on my bloods is 0.6 - 1.3. The biggest thing with creatinine is if it's consistent over time. IE mine has been 1.4 since I was 19...I'm 42 now. Also, you said there was no protein in urine it sounds like no other concerning findings re: kidneys.

I'm actually not quite sure why you are jumping to thinking there are kidney issues. Kidney stones, UTI, muscle pain (most common), even gallbladder issues can cause right flank pain. I do assume they would have caught a UTI though. My guess is just some casual muscle pain...of course it's just a guess and only you know if the pain is something you need to follow up on but assuming they did a full panel of bloods and urine test you'd quite certainly know if you had a kidney issue or major issue goign on.

What did the doctors say? The reason for 3 er visits was because you were in pain?

Doesnt seem. Yes the fact is the increases of creatinine over the years. Egfr yesterday night was on 65 but two weeks ago on 80. Albumin in blood normal and k levels too. Right now i have no protein in Urine due the emergency test

Ive gotten kidney stones somer years ago and the pain is diferent. Now the pain irradiates to my groins and is Bilateral. I feel lethargic and a weird sensation in the muscle. The fact that concerned me is the spontaneous decreases of phosphate to 1.8. So 3 weeks ago i have 3.3, 2 weeks ago 1.8 and a week ago 2.2. Thats really weird

First time they think was apendicitis, but after some test they send me to home. Second time they think was stones. But test doesnt reflex it. Yesterday night after some blood and Urine test send my to home.

Yes i have pain and it increases by the time. The problem is here where i live, the emergency doctor are not really good

 

[Fleezy]

Creatinine last time was highest as always, but 12 hours ago ive trained(1.32)

found the problem

 

[bukotitanico]

found the problem

The problem is the other symptons and the lower of phosphate

Check your diet.

Shit used to work for me, then I slowly became a mess but still functional, then one day it hit me. Felt like I was ran over by a truck, kidney pain, every thing ckd symptom wise. Egrf always 65-66. Trouble eating. Things would only seem to improve if I simply didn't eat.

Turns out im allergic to casein. Took years to realize and identify. How could I be allergic to casein? All the shakes, all the milk, cottage cheese. How did i function? One piece of cheese now a days and im all messed up.

How im eating has a big impact on my blood work.

Yea get that ultrasound my labs were all contradictory then got it and ct which led to biopsy where they discovered the non ped related damage. Kidneys I’ve found can be tricky and the numbers can lie good and bad.

 

[bukotitanico]

Did you have some symptons? And any imbalance in electrolytes? The problem is here in spain sometimes is hard to get some test

next week i have a renal ecography, i think is similar as an ultrasound

Bro I felt great was hammering weights daily cardio. Realized I had throat cancer went in for CT with contrast and they did the test to make sure my kidneys could filter the dye and discovered the damage which was caused by the vaccine it damaged a bunch of tissue then just stopped so my damage is stopped it’s not an on going issue but I do have to eat less protein and I went ahead and dumped a lot of weight just to be sure, getting on stage ain’t worth my life.

Are you not in the US? There’s no scenario where you go to the ER in America 3x with pain in those areas where they don’t do a CT scan immediately. Given you expressed the severity.

You need imaging. Get in somewhere for a CT scan. Sure you can do an ultra sound, but most times that will just lead to a CT or MRI.

Egfr yesterday night was on 65 but two weeks ago on 80.

eGFR is easily manipulated by exercise, diet, body composition, osmolality etc.
