I know it's easy for me to say but try not to worry, Wait and see what the tests reveal, kidney function can fluctuate from day to day, mine was 43 one week and 35 the following week,

good luck

Hi Gem28

Without any other info it is difficult to say. I you have no other problems or worries I would just try to chill until you have your appointment to discuss results. It could be just the tech could have had the gain up too high, and it could have been distorted by gas or another artifact...dont stress

best wishes Christine
