Kidney function tests

[lgnorant]

got bloods back after week off training and looser diet

BUN of 17.6 and creatinine of 1.16

both within range - doctors here dont understand Cystatin C - i asked for it but was very hard to get done

should i get it done privately or the above should suffice?

Your creatinine and bun are normal. I wouldn't bother taking on the expense of getting your cystatin c checked.

Truth be told, aside from dialysis or transplant, there isn't much they can do aside from treating diabetes (which you probably don't have), treating high blood pressure (which you said you don't have), changing your diet (less protein and salt) and exercising more (which if you're here, I assume you do already).

Most of us here are not going to lower our protein intake and we all train pretty hard, so that pretty much just leaves keeping the blood pressure under control (which for most of us can be a problem on gear) and restricting salt intake (which you probably should do for your blood pressure's sake).
