Go see a specialist just to get a better idea of what your dealing with . I had a family doctor who had me on my death bed then after talking to a specialist he eased my mind and things worked out . You never know though and it could be serious so you should find out for sure from someone who specializes in that subject. That's my advice anyway .

Trt dose of test is all you should be on aas wise.

You need to start drinking water like you are a fish.

Drink fresh cranberry juice before bed.

Diet high in anti oxidants- from good healthy food sources- not pill form.

You can continue with a multi vitamin each day but take it with food and a shit load of water.

Do NOT take anything else! No pain killers, no alcohol nothing, no pre work outs, nothing, no junk food, caffeine any shit.

Just alot of water, fresh cranberry juice and good moist healthy food.

You can make some fresh super green shakes for breakfast, anything green in ya nutribullet with some water and drink it.

Broccoli, zuchini, kale, cucumber, brussels, spinach etc etc even add a beetroot.

Honestly be carefull.
Good luck.

My creatinine hovers around 1.6. Its because I lift hard. Went to a kidney specialist after three prior doctors freaked out. She verified i was fine after seeing me. She also stated those numbers are a range, you need to know your baseline. It can also elevate if you're dehydrated. I was recently in hospital and creatinine shot up to 1.8 and they were freaking. Once I was hydrated with IV, it started dropping again.

I was in hospital 3 weeks. Even being off weights for three weeks dropped me to 1.2. Most doctors don't understand athletes. Some fucker wrote in my chart years ago that I have kidney disease, so every time I go to new doc I have to explain that I'm fine.

After my rabdo my doc was worried about my kidneys failing so he sent me to nephrologist for a consult because my creatinine was elevated. My level was the same as yours, 1.65. My GFR was fine though so you may be in a different boat. As far as the creatinine levels are concerned, an elevated level itself is nothing to be alarmed about. Creatinine is not harmful to the kidneys. It is an indicator of kidney health/function. When you need to be concerned is if your creatinine levels continue to rise over the course time. So if it keeps going up then you are in trouble. Mine was elevated after the rhabdo and then settled back down to around 1.4 which is still elevated above normal but my nephrologist said I have nothing to worry about since it isn't increasing. He actually expected my levels to be above the so called normal due to my lifestyle, bodybuilding. Pretty normal levels for a bodybuilder with a higher protein diet coupled with routine training, muscle breakdown, I also asked him about supplementing with creatine and he said go for it, not a problem even though I have elevated creatinine levels.

Now elevated GFR coupled with an elevated creatinine may be a different beast but don't die worrying just yet until to talk to neprologist who will really know what is going on. In the meantime stay well hydrated and try a niacin flush to help cleanse the kidneys.

I remember Viking telling us the best kidney cleanser is fresh barley in boiling water.....simmer for a few hours then filter the barley out of the water then drink the water throughout the day. DO this for a few days and most importantly try not to stress to much bro.

Hope everything turns out ok

Sam is on point. Kidney health is no joke but I wouldn't be writing a will, if you know what i mean.

Bodybuilders may have a slightly elevated creatinine level but yours is more than slight. The normal range is very small and narrow, so it becomes .4 over, that's a big increase.

See a nephrologist as Sam said.

Use this as a wake up call. Your liver can regenerate, kindeys can't. It can become very serious.

Don't take any steroids or other drugs more than is absolutely required. Drink well over a gallon of water and day. Stay away from red meat. Don't take any supplemental creatine. Keep sodium intake as low as you possibly can and take some good quality ALA.

My guess is your doctor suspects the beginning of kidney failure based off those labs. Do you have a BUN result? What's your potassium? I would research if there's anything you can do to help them get back on track and reduce anything that stresses them.

What came back on your blood test was an egfr. The e stands for estimated. The only way to get a true gift is a 24 hour urine Test . Bodybuilders typically have more creatinine in there blood due to muscle break down from workouts. When your Dr refers you to the nephrologist, I would think he'll give you a 24 hr urine Test. I wouldn't worry myself to death till I have one. But I would definitely have it checked out and avoid salt till I get a good go ahead. There's a good article by a guy named gearhead, try the search engine. Good luck.
