Question 1

my creatine is 7 & grf is 10.  the problem due only to blockage from an enlarged prostate (bph).  is dialysis needed now or are there alternatives?

Accepted Answer

Interesting...: How do you know your renal impairment is due to enlarged prostate? That is actually a fairly rare occurrence, contrary to what was once thought in the past.  The first step would be to completely drain your bladder (with a catheter), and see if the renal function improves.  You should probably consult with a urologist and a nephrologist, or dialysis may be in your future.

Question 10

what's the best creatine monohydrate you recommend?

Accepted Answer

No single best optio: There is no best. Any reputable brand will do just fine. Don't forget that for it to be best for you, you have to be able to afford it & obtain it. It may be the "best" but if it's too expensive or can't be imported into japan, then it's useless to you.
