TweetAre you on any nsaids at all too?

TweetWhat kidney function tests were run? Any protein in urine? Did they do a GFR also?

TweetI also was taking aromasin. I did not get all of the numbers it was one of those 30 minute visits. I will go back and get all of the numbers tomorrow. It is through the VA. Im pretty sure there was a GFR in there somewhere. When i get all of the numbers and all of the things they did I will post them up.

Yes do that. Have you had any scans done yet

TweetNot yet. Getting anything done in the VA takes forever to get done. Took them a year and a half just to get the back surgery I needed from being seperated from the Army. He is trying to get it put in for the 14th since i have another back appointment since my pain is back. I can get all of my numbers though.

TweetSorry Baby. I have such bad ADD. for the last few days i get online to respond to you but i start clicking and it gets out of hand. I find myself reading about weird shit 2 hours later and forget why i'm online in the first place. Ok so i got just a basic test done. my BUN was at 20 and my creatinine was at 1.8. The cutoff for the creatinine was 1.3 for normal so i'm thinking that's not good. I went to ask them about the numbers and I spoke to a Doctor in another city over the phone. I'm supposed to pee in a jug for the entire day tomorrow and bring it back to them the day after. I'm guessing that is where they will determine exactly what is causing my problems. I truly hope this test doesn't look at my hormones because if they find out I take test without prescription I could lose my benifits. I'm not sure

Fuzo had to do that 24 hour urine tset for kidney function once. I dont believe ethat will show any of the test hormone levels. Also, creatinine can be elevated from dehydration and recent heavy exercise (which also can elevate your VPK level). There are other factors that can elevate craetinine besides kidney disease but it sounds like this is what the doc is looking for. So I assume you are doing a 24 hour creatinine clearance test and that will tell how the kidneys are functioning? Fuzo went through a lot of this 2 years ago so I learned a lot from that. Are you seeing a Nephrologist or Urologist for this? Also, what was your GFR test result? If I remember correctly, they want to see iot over 60. Best of luck to you and keep us posted please

TweetYes its a 24 hour clearance of my Creatine. I was also drinking a weight gainer with Creatine in it. Lifted very heavy the day before they drew my blood. Nobody told me not to so i gave them a piece of my mind for that one. And i live in a very small oil town in Wyoming about a hundred miles from Salt Lake, UT. I dont even see my doctor one on one. Its a TV screen i see him on and the nurses all are in person. I can drive to SL to see the Nephrologist they assigned to me but i've been doing it over the phone. First they are going to do this test. Ill pee all day Monday and give it to them Tuesday. I think this pee is going to measure my GFR.

TweetAlso what did Fuzo have to do afterwards when all was said and done? what were his results? Is he still able to cycle?

Even though his gfr was 48, craetinine high and protein in urine, the nephrologist said his kidneys were okay. What prompted him to get these tests done was he gained 22lbs of water in 2 days and continued to have edema in the legs, ankles, feet and pretty much everywhere. After a battery of tests for evrything, we really never got to many answers. After time all that edema subsided and yes he still did cycle. We actually were waiting to go to Mayo after he was approved. We had six weeks to wait and as we neared the appointment, he got better so we did not go

TweetWow. That seems like hell. I dont feel any pain anywhere except in my back but thats because of my injury.

TweetHow did the testing go for you?

TweetSorry if I missed this but do you have a preexisting kidney issue?

Also just curious how much protein are you consuming daily?
