High protein in Urine????

[bigrand]

Point being, i wouldnt flag it unless your BUN and Creatinine were high.....high numbers in both would cause concern and further testing. Creat over 1.5mg/dl and BUN over 25mg/dl are what to look for. In acute renal failure, your phosphorus, Na, and K would also be high...these are all blood values, not urine components BTW...

BTW, as for your topic question, Albumin in urine should be 0, although exercise could elevate it temporarily.

Ok.. im gonna chime in here a sec.. Ive had 2 UTI's and near kidney failure, in ONE years. 1 from coming off a high protient test E/deca cycle for 12 weeks. Water is KEY , as well as not eating SO much protien. Cranberry juice+water try to lay off diuretics both natural ie soda , coffee and "water" pill types. UTI's are so fucken painful man. pissing blood feels like razors through the shaft. ow. One of the first things the doc said to me when I was getting into my hospital gear was "Do you do steroids" as he glimpses at the ridiculous acne on my back/shoulders I replied "No never, why do you ask?" he replies "Well sometimes people who use steroids ,it really messes up there kidneys". Bottom line is my mother is a nurse and the things I listed above are reccomended for good kidney health. and uhh, yea they said I need to see a urologist otherwise im gonna end up on a dialysis. Not fun bro!!

I've always said that juicers protein intake is too high. More should get tested and they'd probably have high BUN as well

Increase fiber as well will help release protein into the intestine in smaller chunks thus should lower BUN if it is diet related

Steroids wouldnt cause acute renal failure like an infection would. Its tough for the kids to filter the excess urea with the uncompensated lack of water...but not renal failure.....id say the UTI....two in a year, you need that checked, highly abnormal for a dude.

Well I am assuming that the other kidney function labs were also done and normal. I would also think that the dr would have mentioned if they were not cause that is a more serious sign of failing kidneys than high protein. I would do as the dr instructed and get recheck again. Hydration is key here.

Yea Ill get around to getting it checked =P Since I just got bloodwork done coming OFF a cycle I wonder what its gonna look like , my psychiatrist who ordered the testing is gonna be like wtf? when she sees my test levels. I told her i take "legal" test increasing supplements because I think i have naturally low levels

My BUN on my latest bloodwork was 34, but my creatinine was 1.4... I didnt realize how much eating before your bloodwork could affect it... I had eaten 3 times already that day, probably about 100grams of protein... im sure that was the main reason for my BUN being so high

All other tests were well within normal range (except triglyc as a result of not fasting as well )

how much protein were you eating a day?!
