[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2458272, member: 196898"] I think negative for the following reason. eGFR is estimated from the plasma level of creatinine measured in a blood test (usually a Whole Blood test or kidney function test). Now creatinine is a waste product from processing animal proteins and is directly related to the dietary intake of Creatine, Creatine is normally found in primarily red meats but also in most animal protein foods, It is a comodity that our bodies need,, but is not Essential since we can synthesise it from any other protein source. Even vegans make creatine, and have creatinine waste products, but just not as much as carnivores. This is why you should avoid eating large quantities of animal proteins before the blood test. It is also a confounder when diagnosing kidney function, Body Builders also use Creatine supplements to build muscle tissue. It only becomes an issue when the eGFR drops below 60. Note that as we grow older, eGFR also tends to fall but they do age-adjust when estimating it. [/QUOTE]
