Posted on Fri, 3 Feb 2017
Question: I've asked about my creatinine level of 1.5 %. I was given a lot of information about avoiding NSAIDS, limiting meat, keeping BP low, being hydrated etc. I also asked about taking various over the counter things and their effect on the kidneys. I forgot to mention that with my morning cereal I usually have a about 1 1/2 tablespoons of Whey powder which as a protein content. Should I continue to use this?
