Thanks yeah bloods and urine go back in Jan I have mild kidney damage but high risk for most things they think the cause was pre eclampsia when I was pregnant x

bloods and urine and if the consultant thinks you need meds, you will be given a script for these. Also, on my first visit it was arranged for me to have a kidney biopsy as well to determine what type of kidney failure I had

You will also be asked how you feel in general and any symptoms you may have. Height and weight should also be taken as well as BP

Best of luck!
