Damage to kindeys after protein intake!??

[hot stuff]

Ive been doing weights for a while now and i am definately seeing the results! However i am taking in a lot of PRotein (from whey protein shakes) and my parents are scared that it will damage my kidneys! As i know a person who is 22 and is now on a kidney dialysis machine and is soon to be getting a kidney transplant!!

Can protein shakes cause this effect on your kindey is maybe he was using stonger stuff!! is it really worth risking your health over??

 

[noneother]

yeah know this guy who developed kidney stones after excessive protein. gotta be careful. moderation is key

There have been many studies into high protein diets. The findings generally point to this;
if you have normal renal function, which means your kidneys are healthy, a high protein diet wont cause any problems. If however you have pre-existing renal disease ie your kidneys aren't healthy then a high protein diet will cause an increase in the progression of renal disease.

I take it your young and healthy? A high protein diet wont cause you problems just make sure you drink lots of water.

Yep.
You need to drink a LOT of water, since all that protein puts your kidneys into overtime.

No but everything else starts acting weird. I have personally seen a friend go off in front of my entire high school during a rally trying to chase a kid down to beat him. My guess....the steroids he took a few months before that.

Creatine is fine health-wise (it's a food suppliment, found naturally in red meat), but useless for many.

Don't take steriods...just, no.

Creatine is not a steroid. It does not cause people to break out. Do some research

 

[MrS]

Steer clear of 'roids.

Creatine is either for extra energy or extra strength in short periods, I can't remember..
Or is it the one that retains more water in your muscles? Bah.

SERIOUSLY??? i thought creatine was a roid there for a second......emmmmm wise up!!

BTW it can make you brake out!! maybe not as much as roid but it can!! do YOUR research!!!:crackup:

 

[Shiftkey]

I have, and my research tells me it does not affect acne. You're thinking of roids again here. Go ahead and prove me wrong.

MrS, one of creatine's side effect is muscle volumization, which is the water retention thing you're thinking of. It also increases strength and energy in athletes (it's primary use).
