The bowl is full of bubbles from bring drained by the kidneys. I can’t build any muscle mass, and am tired all the time.

You definitely are leaking protein.

Ask your doctor if you could take curcumin—a reliable source of it.

It appears to help reduce protein in the urine of kidney patients.

Efficacy and Safety of Turmeric Dietary Supplementation on Proteinuria in CKD: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of RCT

Send him this.

ConsumerLab tested curcumin supplements and found Kirkland (Costco) Signature Turmeric 1000 mg (has black pepper extract to help absorption, but could interfere with some medicines). Puritan's Pride Curcuminoids from Turmeric was the best without the black pepper extract. Both of these shoukd be taken with a meal having some fat.

However, “A1 Vitality Turmeric Curcumin” requires no meal and has a very high absorption, despite having a lot less curcumin. It appears to be more expensive, but would not give you a large amount of curcumin while still getting the job done.

It seems inflammation in the kidney cells allows protein through. Are you taking GlyNAC or other antioxidants? Taurine helps make SOD while GlyNAC helps make glutathione. Also, oyster and shiitake mushrooms have a lot of ergothioneine, a backup antioxidant for your cells, for some occasions when the other two aren't available. Glycine, NAC, and taurine are amino acids, which should cause no issues, yet, help reduce inflammation where is may be.
