Hi, i'm 26 years old male .took fasting blood test(without having water) after working out for 2 hrs. got serum creatinine as 1.78. is it coz of gym?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: When i was lifting every day, my serum creatinine ran 1.7. So do other gym guys. It's your muscle mass. The changes in bodybuilding (high creatinine, high body mass index) showcase the foolishness of diagnosing people with a healthy habit as "kidney disease patients" or "obese." the same factors drive this foolishness as drive much of the rest of our health care system dysfunction.
