My eGfr was in the 40’s for 5 years with high creatinine. About 3.5 years ago I started 6 mg of weekly rapamycin. Test two months later showed eGfr in the 80’s where it as stayed (and corespondent lowere creatinine). Most dramatic results I’ve gotten with any changes I’ve tested
@jamesgilmore8192
@jamesgilmore8192 Год назад
That is interesting Paul. It's possible rapamycin could limit muscle breakdown, thereby lowering creatinine, which would give an improved eGFR, without kidney function actually improving. That's the problem with creatinine eGFR, its quite dependant on what's happening to creatinine production (amount of muscle mass, recent exercise etc). Have you had your Cystatin C measured before and after, perhaps it could add more information?

Hi Michael. Your videos are awesome! I was curious as to how you go about calculating your B.M.R. and your daily caloric expenditure. Do you use a wearable device or calculate some other way? I have a job where my activity level varies significantly from one day to the next. I have an oura ring, but have tested it against a polar h10 chest, and the chest strap always calculates double or triple the calories burned vs the oura ring. I'm trying to caloricaly restrict by a certain percentage, but with no way to get an accurate caloric expenditure it makes it difficult to do so accurately. Just wondering what you do, or would suggest in this situation?
@jamesgilmore8192
@jamesgilmore8192 Год назад
MM - Doing it at home, you probably need to go on changes in daily scale weight, and if you want to get more detailed aim for a %BF over a week or month using callipers and circumferences etc. Daily caloric expenditure is a problem that is unresolved even in the research community to the accuracy you would want.

Thx Prof LUSTGARTEN for this outstanding video about the aging kidney. In this video we see, in particular, that Trigonelline is among the uremic metabolites that accumulate in the presence of poor kidney function. On the other hand, we know that lots of older people in some countries , in North Africa, Iran and India for instance, often consume relatively large quantities of fenugreek ( very high in Trigonelline) . Trigonelline is also present in barley, cantaloupe, corn, onions, peas, soybeans, and tomatoes, oats, potatoes. Do you think lowering our trigonelline intake to a reasonable level could impact positively our renal function ? In your case, and in addition your intake of one tablespoon of flaxseed, what are the other nutritional or lifestyle interventions that helped you improve significatly your kidney function ?
@jamesgilmore8192
@jamesgilmore8192 Год назад
Just adding that trigonelline is also sometimes used as a coffee biomarker.
@conqueragingordietrying123
@conqueragingordietrying123 Год назад
Thanks Abdelilah, this is a great point. Even if we eat lots of trigonelline, with good kidney function, we'd pee it out. With sub-optimal kidney function, it would accumulate in blood. A similar story is true for TMAO (intake via fish vs accumulation systemically because of poor kidney function). Flaxseeds are still significantly correlated with lower creatinine (and a higher eGFR), but whether that's causation is unknown. I recently increased their intake further, so it will be interesting to see if creatinine levels are reduced for tomorrow's blood test. There are a few foods that are significantly correlated with creatinine, including salt, so I stick to the low end of my intake range to potentially limit any adverse effects on kidney function.

Could you do a video (or pin a comment) that describes your routine for increasing the accuracy / consistency of your test results? What day of the week / time you get tested, what you do or do not do in the 1-2 days prior to the test, what you do the day of the test etc.? A big part of how fascinating your data is to me is the effort you (appear to) put in prior to testing to reduce noise in your biomarker testing data.

@conqueragingordietrying123 Год назад
Hi @petermilian4455 and thanks-I can detail some of that here. The last workout is on a Friday before a Monday test, with as much recovery as possible for the 2 days prior. Since I track diet, I try to eat exactly the same intake both in terms of foods, macros and micros for the day before each test. The exception to the rule is if I'm doing a specific experiment (i.e. supplements that weren't in previous tests), or increasing a particular nutrient test-over-test. Also, prior to each test, I fast for ~17h-there's no specific reason for that duration, but I used that amount a few years ago, and to be consistent, have aimed for that amount since. On the morning of the test, I drink 20 oz of water after waking up, and approximately 2h before the test, which standardizes hydration status.

But patient age is in the equation for eGFR. If no thing else changes, the eGFR will decrease every year as a function of the equation alone.
@jamesgilmore8192
@jamesgilmore8192 Год назад
That's a fair point, and the factor is 0.993^age, which is weak, but over time would lower eGFR. The cystatin C equation is slightly better at 0.996^age. They are both murky equations in the context of longevity optimisation lets be honest, but they have been validated against other ways to measure GFR. To keep them constant over a 10 year timeframe means you are doing well.

But I don't have gut microbiome data that goes with this test, to know for sure. It could be normal test-to-test variability, too, as I'm still in the early stages of metabolomic tracking.

The body produces TMAO to maintain blood flow during high osmotic pressure. People with low levels of tmao have lower survival from heart attacks. TMAO is beneficial. Dont believe outdated science. The body will produce less of it if your blood pressure lowers, though. This could be indicative of better blood flow. Fish and whales produce it to maintain blood flow during dives. Helps bloodflow during high pressure. One of the reasons Fish is superior to other meat is its large TMAO content.

Great you covered the creatinine as I was wondering about the discrepancy between the outcomes due to muscle mass and those regarding impaired kidney function. So I guess cystatin C is a better marker of kidney function than creatinine. If you would have to choose: would you say that Uremic Metabolites are a better marker than cystatin C?
@conqueragingordietrying123
@conqueragingordietrying123 Год назад
I wouldn't say better, but complimentary. For example, if cystatin C is low but uremic metabolites are high, it wouldn't suggest poor kidney function (initially), but gut microbiome dysbiosis. But, elevated uremic metabolites over time may lead to decreased kidney function, so both measures are useful.

The first time I checked my TMAO levels, they were off the charts at 102.4 uM. (Not sure what that unit "uM" is.) Then I stopped L-Carnitine supplementation, and tested again 2 months later, and TMAO was down to 5.3 uM. Also, fish eaters have higher TMAO presumably? So I wouldn't expect to get a useful figure by blindly adding up all these metabolites.
@conqueragingordietrying123
@conqueragingordietrying123 Год назад
I'd expect circulating levels of TMAO to depend on kidney function-even with a high intake of precursors (or TMAO itself, from fish), the kidney should filter it out to physiologically -relevant levels. If kidney function is suboptimal m they won't. The metabolites in the list are well known to accumulate in the presence of CKD.

yes, more for the creatine, that's why i don't take it, even though "they" say we have extensive studies (so many years long) on it for being safe, every time i took it, i had high creatinine/protein levels, as soon as i cleaned off of it, the levels went to a very good normal, however, "they" say that that is to be expected, but my question is, if you keep having higher levels from taking it, what is it doing to the kidneys over the long haul? "they" also say that if your kidneys are already in bad shape in the first place, you shouldn't take creatine, so, that goes back to my question, why is that if creatine is so good for you? i think creatine is not good for them, besides, i get minor sharp pains in the kidney area of my body when i take creatine (whether it be 1-2mgs or recommended 5mgs per day), so i stopped taking it some years back. i still take whey protein but not excessively, even too much protein can harm kidneys, how much is too much?, depends on the person. protein is necessary though, how much is for the individual circumstances to decide.

I also did an IOLLO test. And I was alarmed to find that my kidney function tests (specifically p-cresol sulfate and dimethylarginine) were high and increased my "biological age" by more than 18 years. Interestingly, your values for both of these markers are even higher than mine. So, I'm curious if that pushed up your "biological age" on their estimator. I had around the same time had a cystatin-C test done (.8) indicating my kidney function was fine. I supplement with creatine, so my eGFR is never very meaningful. I'm curious what might be going on here. Ideas what might be driving up those two values? Given the variability in these numbers, does it really make sense, in your opinion, to include those in a biological age calculator?

I've had this discussion with iollo's CEO-until their biological age algorithm is published, I wouldn't place any value on it. That said, it's not good that my PCS and dimethylarginine (SDMA +ADMA) are relatively high. It's probably a gut microbiome issue, as PCS is initially derived from gut bacterial metabolism. It's possible that the metabolites change more quickly than established markers (Cystatin C), and with a long enough time with elevated uremic metabolites, eGFR starts to decline...
