There is a lot of misinformation regarding protein intake and renal function. In healthy kidneys protein, even high amounts of protein, are not harmful.
Yes protein metabolism does present an increased load for the kidneys to process, studies show filtration rate increases and the nephrons in a sense hypertrophy. This is all a natural adaptive response and not pathological. What happens when you present an increased load to your muscles by excercising? They hypertrophy and you don’t have some disease of the muscle because it’s an expected natural adaptive response.
Now if you have pre-existing kidney disease/damage or they have completely shut down and you’re in dialysis then you have to reduce your protein intake because you’re not able to process the nitrogenous waste products. It would be similar to someone who has just run a marathon and is in rhabdomyolysis being forced to run a second marathon the muscles cannot adapt and they are further damaged.
The two major causes of kidney damage are diabetes and high blood pressure. In our case high blood pressure uncontrolled is the most likely culprit if we experience renal damage. Hypertension is called the silent killer, you feel great until you have a stroke or heart attack.
I would highly recommend everyone get their blood pressure checked frequently on cycle, if abnormal I recommend telmisartin or another angiotensin receptor blocker. Beta blockers have impotence and depression as a side effect, diuretics dehydrate you and can cause electrolyte imbalances, calcium channel blockers cause lower extremity swelling. ACE inhibitors and ARBs have a renal protective effect and have been shown to halt or slow renal damage due to diabetes.
Really? U clearly didn’t read my post did ya?
You are citing stuff from. NON steroid users right?
Where are you copying and pasting from? Please include the websites when you cite articles.
1. Do you understand glomular filtration or have an understanding of what this is? Without citing an article?
2. Do you understand how steroids alter and can cause this to become hyper?
Everything your articles state are correct with blood pressure etc being the number one cause, but and that is a big BUT... the articles are not talking about 300+ grams of excess protein. Are they?
Please don’t quote me and say I have a lot of mis information in what I am posting without PROOF! And your side articles aren’t proof, it’s added information not representative of dis-proving the “mis-information”
