Kidney damage

[charger69]

Does creatine supplementation increase serum creatinine? I haven't found a study showing a correlation. My levels are unusually high for my size.

I actually had testing while taking creatine and 6 weeks without and there was no difference in the creatinine levels. Granted mine were double the level which led to the belief that the kidneys were screwed up. Ultrasound and 24 hour urine showed everything was good with kidneys...... Just alot of protein in my diet.
All for the sake of science LOL

That's good to know. Actually I did eat a whole 2lb turkey leg the night before drawing blood, perhaps I shouldn't have. Didn't mind it lol.
