Worried about renal function after blood test.

Kidney and urinary tract

Hello,

Had blood and urine test on 1/19 because I noticed my urine was bubbly. Egfr came back 63, bun 21, creatinine 1.42. No protein in urine analysis and a/g ratio 1.1. I have more bloods if im missing numbers. Age 29 male. Workout a ton and was supplementing protein and creatine. Protein was between 175g and 200g a day. Doc said my levela were a little low and my ceatinine was high so drink lots of water and cut protein. I have dropped my protein and drank more water. Still seeing some buubles in urine and started to get faint white lines on my nails. Does dehydration affect these tests? I know i had 3 cups of coffee and barely any water on the day of. Also would cutting my protein from where i was at cause the white lines on my nails or should i be more concerned? I dont know, just freaked out because I have always felt healthy and dont want this to progress or because I wasnt drinking enough water and worked out heavily the 3 days prior of this would sku the results. Thanks in advance.

Eat a healthy diet with lots of veg and fruit. Keep totally hydrated, (make sure your pee is clear coloured)  Do not overdo the workouts, then get tested again in 2-3 weeks.  You can injure yourself by not treating your body sensibly, but I doubt you have gone so far.

Hi,

It is true that white lines across the fingernail can be a sign of kidney damage.  Overdoing the workouts and underhydrating might be a cause.  So, sorting out diet, hydration, less workout stress, and then have a retest and see if function moves back towards normal. 

If you still show signs after doing the above then it would be time to take things further with a urologist/nephrologist.
