Although no long lasting study has been performed on humans in regards to this, it can be assumed that with the current toxicity levels of urine that sometime that much more potent could cause kidney damage. The main concerns being a potential for direct toxicity on renal tubules where urine is formed, and for acceleration of kidney stone formation. In addition, because of the increased potentcy, taking Creatine often makes the user test a false positive for kidney problems. It is often referenced that drinking additional fluids (ie: 10+ glasses of water) can lessen the chances of testing false positives.

Heat Exhaustion

There have been instances of athletes having Strokes when taking Creatine. Although no studies have directly linked it to this, several people believe metabolic changes from high doses of creatine in the body can lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

The usage instructions on the supplements should clarify how much water you should take with it, however many people suggest taking even more to avoid minor-moderate dehyrdration. As previously mentioned Creatine does cause dehydration in it’s process. This is a very apparent risk and should not be taken lightly.
