My last wellness check indicated I was now in stage 3b ckd. (EGFR of 39 and Creatinine of 1.76) I go to see a nephrologist for the first time next week. Hoping he will do a CstatonC test. I know weight training and muscle mass do effect creatinine numbers. How will my current stage of ckd affect my training? I am 79 and train 4x a week using a modified U/L split
It’s premature to draw conclusions or make recommendations before the rest of your evaluation is completed, including a repeat Creatinine, Cystatin C, and urine protein assessment at a minimum next step, and if the diagnosis is confirmed, additional testing beyond that being needed to identify the cause, guide treatment, and determine prognosis.
With that said, it is unlikely that there will be a direct impact on recommendations for your training in the near term.
