Of course I am an NP might be biasedI can't argue when it's phrased like thatWould like the post twice if I could.
I'm going to shoot for losing 100 pounds in 6 months
- Thread starter raw_oyster_eater
- Start date
Biased or not, it’s a very sane point of view
I have a bias in the opposite direction, which can definitely be unfortunate if someone decides to make a decision based on what I say without taking proper precautions and getting the necessary tests

you've lost 100 in 8 months but I'm reckless for trying to do the same thing? Please share what you have done so everyone can learn. That's amazing. I don't expect to reach my goal but just something i'm shooting for. I just had a CBC and metabolic panel done last week. Creatinine is a little high.
I think people are kidding themselves with the weightlifting. You weightlift when you're gaining weight. Bodybuilders go thru a constant cycle of eating like crazy and lifting then cutting expecting to lose muscle. I've got plenty of muscle.
I just got my tesamorelin kit and look forward to mixing it up and dosing ASAP.

That’s impressive. Congratulations on your success!!
Blood in urine and low kidney function not good….. you are dehydrated too. Gonna get referred to nephrology? Could be from dehydration …… it is considered grade 3 chronic kidney disease …. Unless it is acute from a drug or dehydration……..
I have lost 100 lbs since January but eat 1200 calories a day. 85 since starting tirz. It can be done safely under proper supervision
How many calories do you eat a day. I use myfitness pal to track calories and macros
How do you know if it’s even working? It takes 3-4 weeks before the system is properly dosed.

FYI for those using MFP and like to use the barcode scanner: If you switch your location to UK then you can use the scanner without premium. I did that for a little bit but I ditched MFP because it got too bogged down with ads on the free version and it's not worth $20 a month to me. Switched to MyNetDiary, premium is only $9, and liking it so far.
So
we are similar except protein around 75-80 grams a day, b12 shots twice a month, vitamin … stopped fish oil due to a fib risk … yeah saw the new cgm for 99 a month … was thinking about it too , using a glucometer. Fasting glucose went from 160’s to 90’s so far…. I need to increase fiber1150 + quite a bit of vitamin supplementation. At least 125g protein, then 75g fiber daily. I also started wearing a CGM to ensure I don't become hypoglycemic (had it happen once when I was increasing in dosage, noticed it with a finger prick - bought a glucometer as a precaution before starting these meds).
I also use MyFitnessPal
Im that case, doctor even suspected I got a blood cancer!!! (he didn't know I self medicate with TRT)
solution is simple - aspirin and donate blood every 3 months
but yeah, steroids are risky, its not for everyone, however same can be said about research peptides, especially those very new
What indicates dehydration?
The urine specific gravity
his blood in urine is the most alarming + other markers detected, it indicates he needs more tests
edit: I overlook his kidney test, well all together it doesn't look good
That's what I thought but it seems borderline.
Yes, agree. That plus the high creatinine is a no bueno sign for kidneys, though potentially could indicate an infection.
Many things should be addressed …..well a gfr of 45 is concerning…. something is attacking the kidneys ……. Ketones can be from dehydration or fasting ……. Leukocyte est 2 plus can be from inflammation or infection …… might be smart to have a urine culture done too.
Some labs urine specific gravity ends at 1.030 so you don’t know if higher
I think we all agree he needs more investigation, there will be some issue with kidneys for sure

i'm going to the urologist soon. I have a 100+ gram prostate (4x normal size) and i think the pressure backs up the kidneys a bit (Hydronephrosis). Urine was coffee color when i had the test done. It'll do that for a day then clear up. And it started way before i did any peptides.
issue like this is probably not related to any peptides, but it could worsen it (dehydrated)
its obvious you are having some kidney issue + maybe some ongoing infection, prostate can be easily involved too (prostatitis etc.) , but infection by itself cant explain all the elevated markers
your doctor didn't comment on the lab test findings?
