Common Questions and Answers about Excess protein risk

protein

Avatar m tn Not at all, why would you think HIV?
Avatar f tn Many people with chronic liver disease are malnourished and require adequate protein to maintain a stable body weight. A diet with adequate protein and energy is therefore recommended. I have decompensated cirrhosis and HE and know many people who are very ill and waiting for a liver transplant. When you very ill and have end-stage liver disease patients have difficulty eating and suffer from muscle wasting because they don't get enough protein.
Avatar m tn does excess protein intake (like eating excess tuna fish) increase liver enzymes ast and alt?
Avatar f tn the current recommended daily intake of protein is 46 grams for women aged 19–70 Any excess protein consumed is turned into energy by the body, and it is controversial whether this excess protein causes a strain on the liver. A deficiency in protein leads to muscle atrophy, and impaired functioning of the human body in general. low sodium Parmesan cheese provides the most protein with 41.
Avatar m tn i am suffering from inflammation of intestine due to which my c reactive protein level is higher than normal. does this put me at risk for heart problems????
Avatar n tn I was thinking of starting working out again after a long time and I was wondering weather using Protein shakes could have any adverse affects on my acid reflux? If so Is there any special one i could take that would not bother my acid reflux. And btw the manuka honey is working for me better than any of the medications has ever done. Thank you for your time.
Avatar n tn Protein is perfectly safe, and is very good for adding muscle, if not used in excess. Simply taking a few shakes a day to help get in your required protein will not harm you, but will be beneficial. But its better for you to take your doctors advice before you start taking your supplements.
1527017 tn?1291671470 This is what I know about protein urine testing. Urine protein testing is used to help evaluate and monitor kidney function, and to help detect and diagnose early kidney damage and disease. If the level is high, the doctor may order a secondary test to determine which proteins are being excreted and in what quantities. Greater than 1200 appears high. However, rereading your post I am unsure if you are mixing the tests urine protein against urine keytones?
Avatar f tn Bp increasing with his pregnancy. Every drs appt it's going up but in my last two pregnancies and always before my bphas never moved or changed? Now it's 110/79 as high as it's ever been and I've had increased headaches and after no weight gain ended up gaining an excess of nine pounds in a week n a half. Me n the dr worry about gd or pre e. Anyone else had this happen ?
Avatar n tn s very difficult to eat THAT much protein on a daily basis! I would love to expiriement with a diet made up of 25% fat, 25% protein, and 50% carbs, although, I fear it will make me gain weight, which I am not looking to do. Some sources have stated that it's a matter of total calories, while others have emphasized high protein diets increasing the metabolism. I don't want to start gaining weight, but am curiouse as to what would come of redistributing my macronutrients?
5889951 tn?1380316047 Protein Excess protein in your urine can be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI), kidney damage, or certain other disorders. Later in your pregnancy, it can also be a sign of preeclampsia if it's accompanied by high blood pressure. If you have protein in your urine but your blood pressure is normal, your sample will be sent to the lab for a culture to see whether you have a UTI.
Avatar n tn Add calories to your daily diet by eating more frequently, choosing more calorie-rich foods, having snacks in addition to meals, eating desserts with some positive nutritional properties and drinking smoothies, milk or juice with meals during the day instead of water. Make nutritionally sound choices from the core food groups, including low-fat dairy, lean protein, fruits, vegetables and whole grains, but don’t shy away from calorie-dense options that are also full of nutrients.
Avatar n tn Hello, Keratosis pilaris occurs when the human body produces excess keratin, a natural protein in the skin. The excess keratin, which is cream colored, surrounds and entraps the hair follicles in the pore. This causes the formation of hard plugs (process known as hyperkeratinization). I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
468408 tn?1208433009 Being an amino acid, the main problem with excess would be the same as the over ingestion of any protein (amino acids are the end result of the metabolism of protein, it's how your body absorbs protein).
1509970 tn?1290036714 I added a line about protein thinking that if I didn't someone else would point it out the risk of too much protein for some folks. A more complete explanation would have been that those with encephalopathy or risk of same should monitor protein levels.
Avatar f tn I drink whey protein and use it for cookies, I also eat protein bars.
Avatar f tn Unfortunately because pool chemicals such as Cyauronic acid are legally added to pet food to artificially inflate pet food protein levels, it is nearly impossible to accurately determined protein levels, much less protein quality in commercially available pet food.
Avatar n tn The symptoms vary depending on the organ effected. In general, kidney disease (causing excess protein in urine), cardiopulmonary disease (breathlessness is common presentation), increased size of liver, pain in the hand and wrist, unexplained diarrhoea, fatigue, memory loss and other symptoms are seen.
Avatar m tn What are you trying to accomplish? Get some exercise, or look a certain way? Unless you're a professional bodybuilder who will make a ton of money doing this, it's a bad idea for your health. Of course you're free to do what you want with your body, but as this is a nutrition forum, it's unlikely any of us will encourage you to overdo anything. Now, what are these downsides?
Avatar f tn As you are growing now you must take protein but do not take more than required for your age. Excess protein is not stored as it happens with fat or carbohydrates (starch or sugar). Hence too much protein induce sexual activities. Try reducing protein rich food and take milk only with enough carbs for a month. Milk is very important although it has high protein. Let milk be there and rest carbs. you will see that you will hardly urged to masturbate.
Avatar f tn By the way, your Body converts excess protein to BG. I dont remember what the body needs for protein but excess is converted to BG the typical BG controlling diet is LCHF (Low Carb High Fat) not high protein.
Avatar f tn -- among the most common causes happens to be cancer, but other causes include sarcoidosis, thyroid disease, adrenal disease, excess vitamin A, among other entities. A PTH-related protein test (some cancers release a PTH like protein) should be done along with serum/urine immunofixation (testing for myeloma - unusual at this age).
873823 tn?1240072948 Studies have shown little or no difference in encephalopathy between patients on a protein restricted diet and those without protein restriction. The worry some doctors have with protein restricted diets is that muscle wasting could occur due to protein deficiency. Some doctors recommend that protein should come from plant sources because it is easier to digest and absorb than is animal protein.
