Went for some blood tests, the kidney test came back as "borderline" and needs to be redone. Can anyone shed any light on what might be wrong with me?

    No details. Are you overweight? Do you have other medical problems? Are you drinking 6 protein shakes a day no water? At least open your diary.
    What is your daily protein intake and water intake.

    Borderline what? Surely if there was a problem, your doctor would have addressed it or referred you to someone who could. If not, you should call back to clarify.

    I suffer with depression and great anxiety and IBS. I drink about 5-6 litres of water a day and train 2.5 hours a day 6x a week. I'm 146 pounds 5 ft 9 . It's a recent problem as I had tests done in January and they were all fine.

    I don't know they didn't clarify so it can't be that urgent?!

    You're not drinking 8 to 10 scoops of whey protein a day, are you? I could guess all day without looking at your food log.

    Excessive protein is hard on the kidneys, but so many different things could be wrong or not wrong. You should ask your doctor.

    What did the doctor say?

    You better keep guessing then. I have 15g whey protein post workout and that's it.

    The dictor hasn't said anything she just scheduled another blood test

    210 or 15? It doesn't really matter, but you've listed two different amounts now.

    Guessing won't help you. You want to know what is up with you and we cannot tell you that. When you get free medical advice online, you get what you pay for.

    Print out your food log. Along with a weeks worth of daily protein intakes. Show it to your doctor.
    (not sure if your would, if your diary is closed to the public, but worth a try).
    I would never eat 210+ protein daily. I don't think I even could.

    My diary is open. I got tremendous amount of help. Nothing to hide.

    How do you even 'open' your food log?

    Do you have some obsessive behaviours related to your anxiety? What is your BMI?

    Exactly. So, if they scheduled another test, wait for the test and see what they say. There's nothing you can do about your possible kidney condition that you aren't even sure what it is.

    210 is excessive, but that doesn't mean it's your problem. There is no possible way for us to tell you what your problem is, open or closed diary. You have to ask your doctor.
