Brief Answer:
Serum Creatinine and BUN

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I would like to first ascertain the lesions you are getting is due to over loaded protein in your metabolism. For this I would ask you to get the tests like Serum creatinine and Blood urea nitrogen. These tests provide useful information and an idea on protein metabolism in the body. If there is excess muscle build, muscle break down or excess muscle protein in the blood can be determined with these tests.

Kindly get the tests done and post me the reports, based on the same I shall suggest you treatment.

Wish you good health.

Brief Answer:
Xenadrine

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

Protein toxicity occurs when the body is unable to get rid of the potentially toxic wastes that are generated as a result of protein metabolism.

A high protein diet is a health concern for those suffering from renal disease. The main concern is that a high protein intake may promote further renal damage that can lead to protein toxicity. The physiological changes induced by an increased protein intake, such as an increased glomerular pressure and hyperfiltration, place further strain on already damaged kidneys. Hence, I ask the blood tests to ascertain your kidney health.

If the test reports are normal and you take treatment it may be hazardous. I would consider it wise to wait till you get the reports.

Drink ample amount of water and cranberry juice this will fasten the filtration process and remove the protein from the body.

Xenadrine is the medication i would advice you to take if the test results come out of range. Xenadrine is a metabolism inducing drug which has to be used cautiously.

Wish you good health.
