Protein powder = Kidney trouble?

Protein powder for your kidney is OK
Protein powder - does it give you kidney trouble?

I just want to ask a question; does protein powder give you kidney trouble?

I read that in a newspaper and walked to the gym to talk to someone who clearly had something to say to me about that thing. And I was just wondering if there is any truth. Belive me; I am 22 years old, healthy as f***, but also worried that the protein powder would destroy my stomach.

UAC has not alleged that the specialist you're talking about not what he does, just that he is not entitled to a possible claim that a high protein intake is harmful to the liver and / or kidneys.
I know there are a lot of strange perceptions of the area (cf. nutrition debate, Atkins, Lindberg, etc.), but the fact is that the study, that the scientific basis of the area indicate that a high protein intake is not harmful to a healthy liver and healthy kidneys, just for a diseased liver or kidney disease.
There are also many studies in this area! On this basis draws both UAC and I and several in the conclusion that a high protein intake is probably not harmful. What kind of conclusion the specialist you're talking about pulling (if he has updated in this narrow area after all then, something I see as a sure thing that he has done) - is his case!
A precision to this with kidney: If you have a pronounced hepatic failure (usually due to many years of alcohol abuse), you risk incurring what we in technical terms called "hepatic coma", and DA is one of the treatment strategies to reduce protein intake, because the liver is not manages to take care of the reaction of amino acids in the usual manner, so that the level of ammonia in the blood rises dramatically, which can affect the brain and cause brain. But a healthy liver (which has a large reserve capacity): No worries!

Two reasons why you should not be worried for your kidney
A precision to this with KIDNEYS: Creatinine (a trading product of creatine phosphate from muscle) is not harmful in itself, and an increased creatinine levels in the blood may be due to two things:


1) Large muscle mass. More creatine enters the blood than usual because of the large muscle mass, and the concentration of creatinine in the blood (but no harmful substances that is!) Increases slightly. Totally normal and not dangerous.


2) Renal failure. Creatinine is as a marker of kidney function, and rises (along with increases in the second and harmful substances in the blood) with reduced renal function. Causes of renal failure may be diabetes, infectious disease, autoimmune disease (the body's own immune system attacks the kidney cells), poisons etc.
Do you see the difference here?
But anyway: It's not just the specialists who have "allowed" to draw conclusions on the basis of evidence available, and we all have access to such documentation, and can draw our own conclusions!
