Creatinine levels
- Thread starter Toogood

High protein and/or creatine intake and muscle mass cause increased creatinine levels. Ive been high end or just over nigh lab range for as long as I can remember all other indicators of kidney issues come back fine but I am also carrying some extra mass (255lbs at 5'11").
Not long ago I looked at a study where no one had kidney issues and they simply plotted creatinine levels on a graph along with bodyweight. the data clearly showed that as body mass increased so did creatinine levels of the test subjects generally speaking.

it can mean what you write
however for most of us it just means we are holding a shit ton of muscle vs. what our bodies should hold. its a good way of knowing someone is juicing too.. hard to keep that much muscle without the help of PED's. I have had high levels since I started juicing and i'm proud of that
doctors are typically too stupid to know that which is why i implore guys get their own bloods done and not go through a doctor.
bottom line those ranges are based on a normal joe guy.. they aren't based on bodybuilders. so you will come in over when you get it done.
That completely makes sense then. I just got my bloods drawn this morning and the lady gives me a call and says she wants to set up an appointment because my creatinine levels were elevated.. What would the normal ranges for a bodybuilder be then?
Also won't muscle damage cause an increase in creatinine? I had a killer quad workout last night so that could contribute to the cause too huh? Lol

tell her that stevesmi said she is a buffoon and to research creatinine levels in bodybuilders. i would hate for a doc to take time away from their tennis game though to actually do some research
my BUN also comes in either at the very top of range or slightly over.
what are your stats?
Lmao that's hilarious!! I will find out what it is today after work.
But I am 5'8 165 right now.
Just got done competing though. My stage weight was 155 around 4%. On a side note, I took 1st in the open class at my first competition!
Dehydration can also affect creatinine too right? I didn't drink any water before getting my bloods drawn.

Yeh anybody with above average muscle mass will generally have high creatanine and BUN levels. Mine has been high for years
yeah de-hydration can cause it too thats the first thing they use but in your case considering all things being equal you are 5 8 and all muscle then that is the reason.
good job on your 1st place. put up some pics bro
Thanks for the assurance my man. I have my appointment to talk to them tomorrow to see what the doc says!
But thanks man, I loved the experience.! I will see about posting some pics whenever I get home.
I'm just ready to compete in the non tested shows! Ready to grow like a monster lol.
its important to correct people in the medical field when they are ignorant about things. i wonder how many poor schmucks out there get put on kidney meds cause of stupid nurses/doctors. probably a lot.
