ACR/Total Cholesterol Tests
I am heading to the Lab tomorrow to have my ACR and Total Cholesterol tests, so to determine whether to refer to the nephrologist.
Two weeks ago, I had my blood work and urine done:
- 0.3 g/L Proteinuria
- no blood leak, or casts
- Serum creatinine: 83
- eGFR = 106
- electrolytes all normal.
My family physician wants to do ACR next; if it turns out abnormal, then I will be referred to a nephrologist for further tests.
Do you mean serum creatinine of .83 mg/dl? an eGFR of 106 is really good. I think somewhere I am missing your measurement units.
I agree with Jonquiljo and Bet117. Your numbers seem great! Is there something else that has you concerned?
Protein leak.
They can't even calculate total cholesterol due to high triglycerides.
ACR: 59.2 mg/mmol,...
is between 0.2 to 1.9 but my urinary creatinine is 13.16 and acr ratio is 43.1,the normal range is...
albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) and a blood test for estimated glomerular filtration rate...
kidney. Changed cholesterol medicine because it wasn’t making much difference. Today cholesterol...
to ask for a refferal to a Nephrologist? My GP has said he wouldnt refer me until I was stage 4/5.
Samuel,
Let me know the outcome. Positive thinking!
Bet
Yeah. If my ACR is going through the roof, like above 30, then my kidney is indeed underwater. My blood pressure is still on the normal range, with occasional highs.
