Avatar m tn and creatinine is very poor test for kidneys function, for example body builders can have high creatinine but everything is fine...it is too dependent on muscles and many with kidneys damage never get it abnormal much better all the other tests by the way hbv damages kidneys too, it can infect kidneys but not replicate there.
Avatar f tn The other test you have looks like a urinalysis( test for the urine) you have blood in your urine but only BLD + 5 UL.
Avatar f tn So sorry to hear what you've been going through. There is far more than people think to help with kidneys. For example there are many dietary adjustments you can make to improve kidney function. Aside from cutting back on the salt and drinking plenty of water, specific foods will also reduce protein the urine and even restore Kidney functions. The guy who developed ""All Natural Kidney Health & Kidney Function Restoration Program” actually restored his kidney.
Avatar n tn As far as I know, a normal kidney function doesn't rule out kidney diseases. Actually kidney function will remain in the normal range until most of the kidney function is lost. Lots of people with kidney problems only have RBC and protein in their urine in the early stages.
Avatar n tn I am very fatigued and have been previously set up for a sleep study. Just began taking provigil three days ago. The blood test was taken prior to starting the new meds.
Avatar f tn I've gone to the doctor for a urine test, he says there was nothing they found -- no UTI (I thought I had one). Then I went to get an abdominal echo to check if there was anything wrong in the liver and kidneys -- doctor said those looked fine too. I've been drinking plenty of water, yet my urine has been dark for weeks still. Dark yellow color. I've had slight lower back pains on one side, but I can't tell if that's because my period is coming or a related symptom.

Avatar m tn Hello and hope you are doing well. The common causes for proteinuria and painless bleeding in the urine are infections of the kidney/bladder, disorders of the kidney/bladder, benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), certain blood disorders, strenuous exercise and certain medications. You will need to consult your primary care physician for proper assessment.
Avatar m tn above 60, urea and creatinine almost the same readings as previous year but potassium, calcium and the others increased a bit, but still within the healthy range. SP gravity at 1.030 and no protein traces found in urine This year, I noticed my urine seems to be bubbly but it's disappear few minutes later and eventually will get better if I increase my water intake.

Avatar f tn Hello~The kidney function tests I have had have all been non-fasting, it is a blood test.
Avatar m tn Hi. Ive noticed yellow urine for just over 3 months now. I had loose stool also up untill 8 weeks ago and getting better. My stool was also yellow. I drink and drink water but its always yellow or bright yellow or even has a slight tint if I drink lots of water. Its slightly darker first thing in the morning. It has never been tea coloured at all.
Avatar m tn very high protein in urine is not uncommon in late stage kidney disease, if this were the case though and to be that high, you should ahve other tell tale symptoms, I really would get a simple blood test to check your kidney function though.
Avatar f tn I bought on ebay and test my own urine weekly. I am seriously prone to urine infections as dont have a bladder, this is why the progressive ckd.
Avatar n tn The symptoms of worsening kidney function are unspecific, and might include feeling generally unwell and experiencing a reduced appetite. Often, chronic kidney disease is diagnosed as a result of screening of people known to be at risk of kidney problems, such as those with high blood pressure or diabetes and those with a blood relative with chronic kidney disease.
Avatar f tn Hi! I'm new to this group but was hoping to find some insight. I have 2 children and the youngest is 10 months and I had hypertension during both of my pregnancies. After I gave birth my blood pressure lowered again but this past week I have had bad high blood pressure again and went to the dr and he started me on medicine and did lab work. All of my lab work came back normal but he had me have a renal ultrasound today to check kidney function.
Avatar f tn Elevated white blood cells may be caused by infection and may be associated with the slight reduction of kidney function. Mildly reduced kidney function may require observation, as well as control of blood pressure and risk factors. If the symptoms persist, it is best that you check with your doctor for proper evaluation. Additional diagnostic tests may need to be done. Take care and do keep us posted.
