Kidney function

[Burpeeking]

I recently found out my kidneys aren't doing great. 1.7 creatinine. I was running about 750 a week sustanon. Anyone else ran into anything similar? If so how long were you off gear before your kidney function returned to normal?

You’ve been running 750mg for how long? If that’s your “cruise” then that’s a high dose. 1.7 is pretty high, I guess it depends on whether other kidney markers are also off. Might wanna get a UA too, the blood test is just 1 side, your piss will tell you if you got a bunch of protein (proteinuria) or blood (hematuria) etc in there.

There was trace amounts of blood. No protein. I'd been running at 750 for about 2 months

Go see a nephrologist and they will figure it out.

My creatinine is was also at 1.7 my last blood test in Mid September but I’m 6’2” 245lbs and your muscle mass among other factors as a “bodybuilder” will cause your creatinine to read higher. You NEED to see a nephrologist before you come to a conclusion about whether your kidneys are doing badly or ok. Don’t listen to your GP or us guys on the forum because I got myself all freaked out, went and say the nephrologist, and he said that GP’s don’t know shit about how to accurately read your levels.

I had been in the same situation...and ended up spending many hundreds on additional kidney tests because my doc freaked out at my creatinine and eGFR values which were skewed because I was on a Var and Test cycle at that time. My kidneys are actually normal and not CKD as specialized tests came back negative for CKD.

Also I did not disclose my gear use to my doc as I feared it would be reported to my insurance company.

Well, my creatinine is back to 1.3 and my gfr is >60 which is normal. Now I'm worried about running anything. I'm thinking just trt
