Normal gfr but borderlined uric acid

2022-03-05 08:59:38
Hello I'm a a regular exerciser and on a high protein diet since years. Recently 2 weeks back I upped the protein to 170 grms a day while cutting the carbs to one meal since I need to loose weight for a photo shoot within a few weeks also taking Creatine supplement 5 gm day. Got the blood results yesterday my egf 98, bun ratio is normal but phosphorus is 5.2 and borderlined uric  acid 7.6, do you think this is a temporary spike due to a quick increase in protein mostly from Chicken will it settle down after few days?? I have no symptoms of any kind normal blood pressure, slightly elevated LDL most likely due to dec, Jan cheat meals.. Should I be worried about having a ckd and get further evaluated. No Protein etc in urine

1.   Your reports are absolutely ok except for high uric acid. We have no previous uric acid reports to correlate that this is recent incdue to high protein intake or it was high previously. 2.   To rule out CKD, we need urine examination, KFT and USG og kidneys. Your KFT and urine examination is normal suggesting an unlikely CKD. 3.  Ideally very high protein supplement be avoided, and if taken should be monitored with weekly KFT report.
