creatine levels and Sunday long runs...

I have googled widely to see if there is any research that could potentially explain why my CCT tests went bonkers. I even talked (offline) to a nephrologist and shared with him my results. He was convinced that this was a testing error. In his words, the numbers were "so absurd" that it had to be a mistake. The transplant team, however, took a completely different tack. They wanted me to do another round of tests. Strangely, they didn't insist on the 24 hour urine collection. They just wanted a blood and urine sample roughly 16 hours after I had finished my long run. I think what the doctors were looking for was whether my kidney was indeed going into some kind of failure mode for about 16 hours after my long run.

I am sure the irony of all this is not escaping you. Here I am getting screened to become a kidney donor, only to be tested myself for some strange case of temporary kidney failure. Thankfully, the test came negative this time around. The doctors have concluded that this was the case of faulty test....
