Well, i got some blood work done recently and my doc thinks i have kidney disease. My creatinine was 127 and my eGFR is 56 (consistent with moderate chronic kidney disease). My eGFR values have gotten worse since 2005, going from 69 down to 56. I know that creatinine is one of the main values these use to determine eGFR and that creatinine is often higher in high intensity training athletes and those that use creatine. I stopped taking creatine 2 days before the blood test and also did not train for two days prior the test...seemed to have no positive effect on my eGFR. I have now been off creatine for 2 weeks and am not gonna train for four days before my next test. I have also lowered my protein intake to see if this will have a positive effect.

I would really like to hear from some of you regarding your kidney values. It would be interesting to see if there is a link between AAS, high protein consumption and elevated creatinine values and lower eGFR values.
