[mjp1379]

I see alot of people have kidney questions.The first sign of kidney iisues is protein in urine,urinating alot at night,ammonia spell on breath,very tired and lack of appetite towards protein.The best 2 tests are a kidney sonogram and a blood test.IF u do have problems things that will be off in ur blood would be BUN ABOVE 50,CREATININE ABOVE1.4,RBC LOWER THAN 12,ELEVATED CHOLESTEROL ABOVE 250,HIGH PARATHYROID HORMONE,LOW VITAMIN D.I know alot about this subject because I had a kidney transplany back in jan as many of u know if u seen me on daves show, STAY HEALTHY AND TRAIN HARD GOD BLESS

What was the cause of your kidney problems?

[mjp1379]

FSGS SCARRING OF THE KIDNEY The doctors stated it was from years of borderline hypertension140/90 which once the kidneys become damaged the blood pressire becomes uncontrollable a double edged sword in my case it went as high as212/140

U know long term workouts can damage kidney!!! When you workout.. u semi shut down ur kidey and liver.. forcing less blood in them and more into your skeletal muscles... hence long term workouts very very bad.... any1 else got some thoughts on this??

[Bekim Rizvani]

How long did it take for them to become damages while your blood pressure was borderline hypertension? What do you think you could have done to prevent this?

Well first I would have had a sonogram of the kidneys 7 or 8 years ago and I woould have gotten on a high blood pressure medication about 12 years ago.About the working out long term and kidney damage I asked my doctors at the transplant center bc I heard the same thing,They told me when u break down muscle tissue from training to a degrre there is a slight stress but will not cause damage however if u have any type of crush injury severe trauma that will damage the kidney .So what does this mean Well it not the heavy intense leg presses that will damage ur kidneys but if ur legs get crushed under the 1500lb leg presses hope tis helped ease some worry and help inform

So they said that heavy legs presses are also bad for your kidneys?

Sadly, kidney disease is a silent killer.
Many of those symptoms you described are only seen in frank renal failure, and if you wait for those symptoms to become apparent it is WAY too late.
Renal ultrasound is pretty much useless as a screening test for medical renal disease and has a dreadfull sensitivity and the specificity is even worse.

The only thing that one can do is have their blood pressure regularly checked along with routine blood work by their PHYSICIAN on at least an annual basis.

when i was on creatine my creatinine levels were like 1.9 and in a month after i got off creatine it went down to 1.2

[Provo82]

once my creatinine was 1.5 when the upper range for my lab was 1.4 and my bun was 10 points elevated. My doctor suggested that i was mildly dehydrated so i increased my water to 2 gallons per day got retested and everything was in normal range.
