Long story short i did steroids for quite a few years (i know i brought it upon myself) and i'm 28 years old, for the past year or two my pee has been very foamy and dark, unless i drink like 50 water bottles a day, and recently got diagnosed with crohns disease and put on prednisone, i wake up often to pee at least once a night within the past couple months, i go for blood tests quite often, and a friend of mine recently got diagnosed with FSGS (which is what i'm thinking i have but i'm not a doctor)
these were some of my results and the dates, so bare with me it's a lot to read..
Febuary 13th
Creatinine 109
ref 67-117 umol/L
Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)
81
March 7th -
Creatinine
HI 123
ref 67-117 umol/L
Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) 70
Protein HI 0.3 NEGATIVE (<0.3)g/L (not sure why it says HI and than negative as a reference if it's high)
Leukocyte Esterase HI 25 ( not sure what this even is)
gfr dropped like 11 right there, creatinine high, protein in pee
April 19th -
Creatinine
HI 124
ref 67-117 umol/L
Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) 69
dropped again and creatinine still high, at this point i dropped all anabolic steroids and got started on prednisone for crohns which i believe is used for kidney disease too? also stopped going to the gym altogether.
this last test i have no idea what it means, because things seemed to improve, but i also diluted my pee because i thought it was a good idea for better results, so i must of drank 10 water bottles and went to get the test so my pee was finally really clearish, not sure if diluting pee would affect GFR or anything but these were the results last week
MAY
Creatinine 108 ref 67-117 umol/L
Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) 82
and some other tests i have no idea what they even mean yet
Albumin (Urine) <5 mg/L
Creatinine (Urine) LO 1.6 ref3.5-24.5 mmol/L
Albumin/Creatinine
Unable to calculate Albumin/Creatinine Ratio
as the concentration of the Albumin is less than
the lower limit of the analytical range of the
method.
I know there are probably no doctors on here but if anyone has any idea about anything let me know, i just want to know regardless, after diluting my pee my gfr increased back up (and stopping steroids/starting prednisone) also creatinine went down a bit, i'm guessing if i went in the morning when my pee was more foamy and dark my results would of been just as bad as before, not sure if drinking more can increase gfr or anything though
