Thx.but am not taking steroids only 1 scoop of proteine shake/day and 5 tab amino acid/day.Do you think that there is a risk on my kidneys in the future if my creatinine is near to the upper limit ?

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
I'm glad you;re not on steroids.
As for the protein intake, it is not advisable that you exceed 2.5 grams per kilogram of body weight per day of total protein intake (including from food) in order to preserve adequate kidney function. Although body builders go up to higher amounts of protein intake per day.
Kindly refer to the following link where I have answered a similar question:
