[QUOTE="USMC, post: 260617, member: 43981"] Just a heads up and probably a bit of "Bro Science." I started taking 5 grams of creatine several months back. It was symptom and problem free and I got great results from it. However, in a recent blood test, my hematocrit went from 46 (where it's been for years) to 51, and my kidney function dropped 1 point. I'm guessing it is causing me to be dehydrated although I drink plenty of water. Anyway, I stopped taking the creatine for 3 weeks and got retested. My kidney function test returned to normal. I asked the DR. to include the hematocrit, but she didn't... I'm going to ask her to schedule another one to include that. Also, I see my urologist next month, so maybe she will have some input. Note, i have been doing my prescribed TRT dose of Test C 40mg twice per week, so I doubt that increased my hematocrit. Anyone else experience this from Creatine? I seen one other post, but I would think it would be more common with how popular Creatine is.
