Hi

Is there a chance that you were dehydrated at the time? This could cause urea to appear raised.

Hope this helps, xxx

Thank you very much for your response. I take daily 2.2 litres of liquid. That cannot be the case. XXX

Ok. That certainly seems to rule out dehydration.

Please let us know how you get on. Xxx

All these kidney function parameters matter.Make sure it’s not lupus nephritis?

All matters. But whats the EGFR levels at? Those are your kidneys. Creatinine those are inflammatory markers.
