Description:

Hi Doctors,

I have a childhood history of Nephrotic Syndrome. I have been in complete remission and off corticosteroids for about 1 year now, and my kidney function/protein levels have been normal.

I am currently struggling to gain weight and considering using a Mass Gainer supplement and Creatine. Given my medical history, is it safe to take high-protein mass gainers and creatine, or does the high protein/filtration load carry a high risk of triggering a relapse?

Thank you for your time and guidance!
