AUA: Creatine and Acute Kidney Injury in Pro Ultramarathoner - Ep. #106 Inside Sports Nutrition

    • Nutrition

In this episode, we address a question from a fan of the show about whether creatine supplementation could be a problem for causing acute kidney injury. The question stems from a professional ultramarathoner’s report of a recent Did Not Finish (DNF) in a 100-mile race where it seemed creatine supplementation could’ve caused the AKI. We break down what was reported and provide insight as to the many potential contributors of what resulted.
