Low Percentage of Protein In Urine. Posted: 05-22-06 14:13pm
I have a low percentage of protein in my
urine. My doctor thought that my protein
went into my blader when I was standing
up, but I still had protein in my urine
when I was lying down. I am a fit 18
year old and I take protein shakes and
creatine when I train for my sport. Could
this have an effect for the amount of
protein in my urine? Thanks

I dont recommend protein shakes with
creatnine and yes this can cause it.
Protein spills into kidneys when they are
stressed. Eating lots of protein will do
this and ruin your kidneys as well as
heavy excercise. Especailly if you have
a family history of diabetes or kidney
disease. Beaware to watch if you eat alot
of meat and get tired as opposed to
getting energy. Make sure you learn to
get your protein source from something
other then animal then- like
fish-soy-nuts. People who cannot break
down protein well, often need to alter
diet in that way. So if you feel like
sleepy after eating a big burger or steak-
maybe so even not, try a diet cchange
along with a different drink.
Drink plenty of water- if you want
protein intake for workouts choose a whey
protein without all the added junk in it.
Proper hydration and carb intake in
healthy forms will provide as much muscle
and energy you need. I used to have
this as well and I was a gymnast for 14
years and my body couldn't handle the
protein source and excercise intensity.
I found this out from seeing a kidney
specialist.
