PROTEIN IN URIN

PHIL HERNON · Oct 24, 2003

WHAT DOES THIS INDICATE? ANY THOUGHTS?

Chewy Bagel · Oct 24, 2003

I got this info off www.webmd.com

Protein is normally not detected in the urine. Sometimes a small amount of protein is released into the urine when a person stands up (this condition is called postural proteinuria). Fever, strenuous exercise, normal pregnancy, and some diseases (especially kidney disease) may also cause protein in the urine.

protinuria

Phil I do not think that is a good thing I read that 1 gram over a 24 hour time is good anyhting over 1 gram is not good.If I am right you had over 5 grams.

PHIL HERNON · Oct 25, 2003

YES

5 GRAMS

Phil,

I too have read that over 1 gram is not good, but they were talking about the average human man. I think body builders are way about average.

phil

what did your doctor tell you!

PHIL HERNON · Oct 26, 2003

DOCTOR

To drink more water, cut back on the protein, NO MORE ORALS.

xcelbeyond · Oct 26, 2003

Hey Phil -

What prompted you to check this?

xcel

PHIL HERNON · Oct 26, 2003

Well

It had been 18 months since my last checkup. I was fine then.

spf1050 · Oct 26, 2003

phil

how much protien were you taking in?

PHIL HERNON · Oct 26, 2003

About

300 grams. The reality is that mega doses of protein will catch up to you, in time.

I think that all these supplement companys are saying you need 2 grams per pound of body wieght is nuts!all they want to do is sell ther product!I hardy ever use orals and I had protienurie so going back in a month or two to get checked again.

THE BEST THING ANYONE CAN DO IS ACCURATELY FIGURE OUT THE AMOUNT OF PROTEIN THEY ARE TAKING IN.. many people guess as to what they take and will be surprised as to the amount they really take..300 is not bad..if it really is 300.. it could actaully be higher..but, large doses of 17 aa tabs will eventually make them kidneys scream..

i totaled my protein many times and actually was higher than i guessed.. i try for about 250- 300 a day.. some days maybe a little less but, if everyone takes the time to accurately total the grams up.. i bet your higher than you thought..
