Whey protein and other protein-fortified supplements are frequently consumed as nutritional supplements to aid in muscle hypertrophy and myogenesis. This case presents a 36-year-old athletic male with elevated creatinine and uric acid levels during routine laboratory evaluation. The patient had no history of kidney disease, diabetes, or hypertension. It was revealed that the patient had been regularly consuming whey protein as a dietary supplement for 2 months. Given the potential association between the elevated creatinine and uric acid levels and the use of whey protein, the patient was advised to discontinue the supplement. The patient then switched to protein-fortified milk to mitigate the possible harmful connection between the dietary intake and the laboratory findings. However, despite the dietary change, the increased levels of creatinine and uric acid persisted. This observation suggests that the elevated levels may be attributed to chronic whey protein consumption along with high-protein dietary consumption.
乳清蛋白和其他蛋白质强化补充剂经常作为营养补充剂食用，以帮助肌肉肥大和肌生成。该病例为一名36岁的男性运动员，在常规实验室检查中肌酐和尿酸水平升高。该患者无肾脏疾病、糖尿病或高血压病史。结果显示，该患者作为膳食补充剂定期食用乳清蛋白已有2个月。鉴于肌酐和尿酸水平升高与乳清蛋白使用之间的潜在关联，建议患者停止服用该补充剂。然后，患者改用蛋白质强化牛奶，以减轻饮食摄入与实验室检查结果之间可能存在的有害联系。然而，尽管饮食有所改变，肌酐和尿酸水平仍持续升高。这一观察结果表明，水平升高可能归因于长期食用乳清蛋白以及高蛋白饮食。
