Recent revelations about my long-term health condition have become apparent to me, leading to investigation into other anomalies in my blood tests over the past ten years. In particular, my creatinine levels have been over the upper limit since at least 2002. Many Doctors "wrote this off" as a result of my high muscular mass, but I wish to learn more about it for potential connectivity to other potentially long-standing issues.
I am aware that creatinine is an indicator of kidney function, but my kidney results have remained in the normal range. My Urologist, since at least 2004, has indicated concern of blood in my urine. Several tests, including ultrasound, were performed with inconclusive results as to the cause(s). I suspected the extra blood in urine samples was from taking shots of TRT testosterone and simply filtering out the broken residual blood cells, but now, I am taking a closer look.
Additionally, last year I had pain in my upper left abdomen and had an ultrasound of my organs, in particular my spleen. The doctor said it was not enlarged (with no reference; opinion) and in general the results were inconclusive. Luckily, since I moved out of the sewer gas apartment, this has subsided, but remains of concern.
Any information anyone can provide about creatinine management, other than the standards as indicated by available trade journals, would be appreciated, ie; dietary, supplemental, connection to blood pathology, etc.
Looks like I need to return to my biochemistry roots of 35 years ago!
Thank you.
