[QUOTE="raygo, post: 31237, member: 352"] Key point here: [B]In resistance-trained young men [/B]Excessive protein intake is hard on the kidneys. I am currently experiencing some kidney issues, since I was about 55. You'll want to keep in mind that a normal part of aging involves gradual loss of some kidney function, so if this forum is targeted at men primarily over the age of approx. 45-50, then this is comparing apples and oranges. Our kidneys have seen a lot more wear at our age. Sadly, I am evaluating everything about my lifestyle at the moment, including my excessive meat/protein consumption. You'll want to get regular kidney function tests, specifically creatinine clearance and eGFR. eGFR is estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate, usually based on serum Creatinine level, age, sex, and race. The level of creatinine in the blood is a useful guide to kidney function, but GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is a more accurate measure. Blood creatinine is used to estimate GFR (eGFR). GFR is used to measure the severity of kidney damage. Because it is normally about 100 it gives an approximate "% kidney function". In an average healthy male, you can get an estimate of what your eGFR should be by calculating: 140 - (your age). I should be between 70 and 90, all things being equal, and I am at less than 60. Also, if you find you have an abnormally low eGFR, you'll need to cut creatine supplementation too. Sad fact. [/QUOTE]
