Why hard-training athletes watch it
Diet, hydration, medications, kidney function, genetics, and other factors may affect a result. Logs can give a clinician context but do not identify a cause.
When to retest
Ask your clinician whether and when a repeat is appropriate and what preparation is needed; record recent diet, hydration, supplements, and symptoms.
Talk to your clinician
Bring a sustained or unexpected result and any joint symptoms to your clinician rather than assuming diet is the cause.
