Latest Lab Results

[SamuelChin]

Hi all:

My latest lab results came back this morning:

Urine dipstick: Normal, everything

Electrolytes: Normal

Creatinine: 84

eGFR: 103

Haemoglobin A1C: 5.8, Normal

Albumin/Creatinine ratio: 18.1 (previously, 59.2; high-risk to medium-risk)

My GP is referring me to a nephrologist later this month. He said a professional practitioner will monitor my situation better than a family doctor. I will be doing another round of blood works next week, as well as urine microscopy.

My spot BP is 130/80

My GP continue to prescribe me 50mg of Losartan daily.

My weight is 92.5 kg this morning; BMI is 26.5. I will continue to change diet, lose weight, more exercises.

Best regards,

Sam

Is there a reason you are being referred?

[SamuelChin in reply to Sally10255]

My GP wants me to be monitored by an expert. He told me that he doesn't specialize in the area. I live in Vancouver, Canada. We got a lot of nephrologists in the area.

Wow, great news! Congrats

Thank you!

I am sure it is the first step.

I am 35. So, I guess that I got a long way to go.
