Not joking, I just went to a Universty Med Center on a referral fom my reg Dr, who ran some blood work and noticed that my kidney values were high...

I remember them mentioning creatin (not creatine.. I am not sure if that is how it is spelled) being at 1.5, he would have been happy w/ 1.3... He believes that it is the BCAA, all the protein, creatine, etc.. essentially all the supps that are necessary to maximize WO's...

He wants to run more tests, but wants me to stop using the supps, since I am healthy in every other way w/ no family history of kidney problems... the Dr that referred my told me to stop supplementing, but I blew it off..

I asked the specialist if he was saying that if they isolate the supps as the problem, if I keep taking them, can I ruin my kidneys? He said yes!

WTF? something can't be right...

I am reading a study now that says that high protein diets are not a problem to healthy kidneys, but can be a problem to already unhealthy kidneys...

I know he is a specialist, but I think he is linking the two...

Has anyone else been told that their kidney function is/ was impared by too much protein?
