Okay, anyone out there have an issue with kidney functioning?
I just did a repeat lab test for kidney function. My BUN was 25 6 months ago it is now 34 My Creatinine was 1.02 back then it is now 1.04 The lab doctor gave me a referral to the nephrologist. I don't see him/her? on July 15.  My glucose was up to 111, which I've never had a problem with in the past, but I've been eatting 'comfort food' a lot lately. And I know one test isn't going to make me a dx of pre-diabetic. My dh has pre-diabetic and I know I need to buckle down with good food. I asked him to not buy soda for the house anymore as a way to help both of us. It's diet Coke, and I seldom have it around, but he isn't supposted to be drinking diet anything soda. He hates having to watch is diet. I like healthy, but I know the difference in what I've eatten in the past 4-6 months  I need to do another fasting lab test before I go see my family doc next week Tuesday, "to see what the trend it". My family doc told me 6 months ago it could be from my high blood pressure meds, causing the beginnings of kidney dysfunction, or my Celebrex for osteoarthritis. The lab person who called me yesterday said all these results indicate something with kidney function. Which I know already. Help, anyone who struggles with kidney stuff please reply. |

I guess I just have to wait until I see my family doc on Tuesday for all me education. Then off to see the nephrologist next month. I just don't like waiting. I'm not going to let it cause me anxiety

Thank you
I'm going to get off this computer but of course, not without checking out what I could without being too compulsive about all this...  ...I think I know partly what caused my DUN to be higher than normal. I just finished my PT for the day just before I did the blood draw. No one told me to not do "exercise" 48 hours before having the test done. But since they were higher than normal six months ago, I'm thinking I may have some kidney problem or other. Good nite |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
