乳清蛋白和其他蛋白质强化的补充剂经常作为营养补充剂食用,以帮助肌肉肥大和肌肉形成。该病例为一名36岁的运动男性,在常规实验室评估期间肌酐和尿酸水平升高。患者无肾脏病史,糖尿病,或高血压。据透露,患者已经定期食用乳清蛋白作为膳食补充剂2个月。鉴于肌酐和尿酸水平升高与乳清蛋白的使用之间的潜在关联,建议患者停止补充。然后,患者改用蛋白质强化牛奶,以减轻饮食摄入与实验室发现之间可能的有害联系。然而,尽管饮食改变了,肌酐和尿酸水平持续升高.这一观察结果表明,水平升高可能归因于长期的乳清蛋白消耗以及高蛋白饮食消耗。
Whey protein and other protein-fortified supplements are frequently consumed as nutritional supplements to aid in muscle hypertrophy and myogenesis. This
case presents a 36-year-old athletic male with elevated creatinine and uric acid levels during routine laboratory evaluation. The patient had no history of kidney disease, diabetes, or hypertension. It was revealed that the patient had been regularly consuming whey protein as a dietary supplement for 2 months. Given the potential association between the elevated creatinine and uric acid levels and the use of whey protein, the patient was advised to discontinue the supplement. The patient then switched to protein-fortified milk to mitigate the possible harmful connection between the dietary intake and the laboratory findings. However, despite the dietary change, the increased levels of creatinine and uric acid persisted. This observation suggests that the elevated levels may be attributed to chronic whey protein consumption along with high-protein dietary consumption.
