My GP called me in to her office today because of bloodwork I did last week. I was having kidney problems because I was on lithium, but they sent me to a nephrologist and the nephrologist said everything was probably fine and asked me if I wanted more tests. My GP had ordered them anyway so I said no. Apparently these tests indicate there is still a problem, there is calcium and protein and white blood cells in my urine, and my creatinine and microalbumin numbers are too high. I'm scared of the calcium stuff, I don't want kidney stones. It also says "granular casts present" and google says that means "While most often indicative of chronic renal disease, these casts, as with hyaline casts, can also be seen for a short time following strenuous exercise." and I definitely didn't exercise strenuously before getting the bloodwork. I walked from the bus stop and it was a bit uphill but I wasn't out of breath or anything.

I'm going to try and stop worrying. No news about the 24-hour blood pressure test yet.
