AUA: Creatine and Acute Kidney Injury in Pro Ultramarathoner - Ep. #106

In this episode, we address a question from a fan of the show about whether creatine supplementation could be a problem for causing acute kidney injury. The question stems from a professional ultramarathoner’s report of a recent Did Not Finish (DNF) in a 100-mile race where it seemed creatine supplementation could’ve caused the AKI. We break down what was reported and provide insight as to the many potential contributors of what resulted.  Links: Luke’s IG posts https://bit.ly/4a0SM7d and https://bit.ly/3N9ve6h Research and review papers: https://emj.bmj.com/content/34/10/637 https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/19/24/16887 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30367015/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28615996/ --- Connect with the pod on IG and FB.  This episode is brought to you by All Around Snack Co. which features tasty snacks that are low in added sugars, contain zero dyes, colorings or additives and help control blood sugar for steady energy levels throughout the day.  Use code ISNPODCAST23 to save 15% on your purchase.
