Hello,
I am wondering if I might have kidney problems.
My energy levels crash big time when I exceed a protein intake of over ~110g per day, I have been trying to figure out why this is (I get the classic low blood sugar/stress response. Lower temp, bad mood, feeling anxious, brain fog etc).
In addition to this I get a very red/hot feet, blood is pooling there (when I raise my legs they turn normal white again) when I eat a lot of protein.
The reason for wondering wether I have kidney problems is that for a long time I have had so called "half-and-half" nails (type this on Google image to see others with this). Apparantly it's a sign for kidney problems. See attached pictures for pictures of my toenails.
About me: 24 year old, 6'6, 180 lbs, lean (~7-8% BF, no pinchable fat anywhere with veins all over abs). Resting BPM in morning is about 35, in evening goes to 45. Temperature I do not know but can buy measurement device if needed.
Also I am wondering what is a good way to assess kidney function? Googling around it seems that creatinine is not that much elevated in early stages of kidney disease.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my post!
With friendly regards,
