I just switched doctors and got my blood test results today. This might be my first ever blood test. He said my Creatinine levels were high and that my liver enzymes were up and should not take Creatine. What gives? I thought creatine was proven safe to use. I haven't even taken Creatine on a consistent basis since the first week of August where I went through a tub of Magnum Limitless using it four days a week. Lately, I've just been taking it once a week, 5g, to help recover from my brutal leg workouts. And I drink a ton of water, always pissing. Surely, there is something else at play here. Here are some of my results:
Creatinine 1.37 0.76-1.27
Bilirubin 0.5 0-1.2
AST 66 0-40
ALT 45 0-44
So I searched the threads regarding this topic and it looks like a number of things can effect Creatinine and liver. I have been working out really hard lately - weights 4-5 days a week for 55-70 min. The day that I got my blood drawn, I came down with a cold that night. Someone said in another post that the Bilirubin measurement is the most important and mine is fine. Supplements I've been taking lately are TSN Pump Igniter, Metabolic Nutrition E.S.P., MP Amino 1, Animal Whey, MP Combat Powder, Ashwagandha. A rough estimate on protein intake is 200g a day.
I thought everyone should be aware that doctors are still telling people not take Creatine and be careful with it. He's the doctor so I guess I should listen to him.
