Possible causes for kidney problems?

[MaxSwells]

TweetBros, this Q? has been bugging me for a little while, partly because my next cycle is pretty heavy & everytime I get a lower back pain, I always start thinking about my kidneys...
Athletes like Don Long, Wheeler, etc...there are a few more that escape me right now...in such or similar cases of a bodybuilder who has kidney problems, what do you think this is mainly attributed to? Please be specific with responses...imho I would have to guess that diuretics have the biggest part to play...anyone?

TweetYes,

Me and my wife just tried to get life insurance..... I wasn't ready but the lady kept bugging me. I had just came off a cycle, and my wife was running clen.... Not good our prices doubled.... She said we could go to the doctor and get a good clean bill of health and it would go back down. So I said cancel it, I will wait and try it again when I m not on, as well as my wife. Clen has a big effect on the kidneys and it made my wife look like she had kidney disease. Along with T3 she was taking also. For some reason that problem didn't show up on me, It was my liver... Showed I had Liver problems. But from everything I was taking at the time thats what it was. Next cycle I m on I m going to take everything to clean the kidneys and liver through out the cycle. Maybe that will make a difference.

TweetTell me more about gear and lower back problems.. I`ve been having back problems for a while..and my insurance sucks..

Tweet^^^ Well, everytime I start a new cycle...I start having lower back pains...sometimes just very ennoyeng for days on either side, sometimes it goes up a little towards where I assume my kidnes really are...last time I took tren, my urine was really dark...the thing is that I do fancy very heavy deadlifts and the pain ussually comes on after that, as well as the seas in the car I sometimes drive are very uncomfortable...so when I drive that car, my lower back hurts, when I dont, it seems to heal...I dunno...I'll get checked at some point, I dont think its anything serious...but then again u never kno...

TweetThe back pain are normal! its the muscles getting pumped!

Dont forget, some muscles works 24h a day, the lower back must hold you and when you move, their muscles do to.

normal dont sweat it

TweetI know your prob aware, but always make sure you take your LIV-52 or milk thistle, and drink plenty of H20. I also take cranberry caps they are 250mg or and I will sometimes get the Ocean Spray CranApple. It will help cleanse impurities in the urinairy tract. I hope your taking the powdered tren? there are less sides with it. Might be wise to lay off the tren for a few cycles. How long does the the discomfort last?? Could be a combination of the deadlifts and the kidneys. Best like you say, to go get it checked out.

TweetI think it's just from the lifting. I get back pain all the time. It will stop hurting on the days I don't work out, then I'll try to jog and it will start hurting again. Just try and get some rest. How do you sleep? On your back, stomach, right or left side?

TweetDepending on what you're taking, it could be a problem, or it could be the muscles of the lower back becoming engorged with blood. Drugs such as dbol or fina are especially bad at causing pumps in that area.

However, the most common causes of kidney pain are: inflammation associated with disease; kidney cysts; tumors on the kidney; urinary tract infections; etc

The kidneys are working much harder due to the higher filtration that is occuring because of the increased protein diet and the drugs that are being ingested.

But the majority of the damage is to the liver since that is where excess levels are filtered and/or activated.

TweetI get lower back pain too when I run,I tend to stretch alot more to help it out but usually goes away .Also try to sleep right on ur back not sideways and all and chiro helps also.

[mick-G]

TweetReason i suggested above is because of the dark urine, and it is prob form the tren.

TweetOh man..well I get lower back pain almost all the time..I can`t do any heavy work like construction..etc..and I have to kinda bend down.. all the time..to ease the pain..

Sometimes even when I`m standing up for some time..I get this really f-up feeling in my lowerback..to the point where I just have to sit down..

Tweetsounds like the normal "back pumps". Dark urine indicates that your water intake needs to go up.
The kidney problems associated with professional bodybuilders is most likely form diuretics. AAS has no direct effect on the kidneys.
