A member asked:

Does building muscles have any side effect on kidneys function ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bodybuilding/kidney : When people body build they have a natural tendency, in the short term, towards minimal wear of muscles. This raises an enzyme level in the blood and makes it appear like the person has a kidney problem. Special urine testing can confirm that there is no damage to the kidneys. Extreme strenuous exercise can cause a release of chemicals from the muscles which can cause kidney damage.
