Survey: Your Kidney function (eGFR) and age?

Creatinine = 1.01 mg/dL (indicated max lab range = 1.2 mg/dL).
Cysttine = unkownw
Caucasic eGFR per EPI-CKD = 78 mL/min/1.73 m^2

Age 65, male.

I take modest amounts of creatine daily, about 1.5 grams. This might elevate modestly creatinine
I lift weights with moderate intensity but almost daily.
The above may bias the eGFR toward lower values.

No Rapa, no drugs, only minidoses of ezitimibe.
Main food: vegetables, with lots of nuts, dairy, a little whole-grain cereals, a little fruit and legumes. Protein in the range of 1- to 1.2 g/kg/d, or even less, depending on hunger.

Looking at your avatar mccoy… you’re doing great at 65 years.

Curious tho… are you moving toward dosing rapamycin and are you on… or considering TRT?

Hi Agetron, Rapa is really hard to take hold of here. The only way, apparently, is to travel to Turkey or Dubai and convince a pharmacist to do that. My strategy is to try to manipulate the upstream signals, even as David Sabatini hinted at.
TRT, I’m not sure, but my total testosterone level is still decent, although the free testosterone might be (surely is) declining. I plan to see a specialist and listen to his advice.
Other things, unfortunately, I don’t have much time right now, so I’m just concentrating on lifestyle and perhaps introducing some other pharmaceutical drugs in minidoses, but all my metabolic values are all right so far. Blood sugar a little high, but Homa-IR low. Hence, I’m just checking myself regularly and waiting…

Ahhh… I thought you were in the USA.

Looks like you have it covered bud.

Keep up the great work.

After 4.5 years on rapamycin no breaks … have now been off rapamycin for 2 1/2 months to see how thymus fat reduction is doing with HGH for one year.

I definitely can feel the changes being off rapamycin … glad to be back on soon.

Hahaha… exactly.

Hey, I am not embarrassed to say HGH for increased cell production with TRT… for normal higher testosterone to increase cell volume doesn’t hurt :muscle: .

The year of HGH has given a hard solidness to muscles… I was noticing partcularly my shoulders, while scrubbing up in shower today.

You are making a distinction without a difference. Everyone knows they’re synonymous.
