Going for my first kidney ultrasound. It will be interesting.

Ive found out my protein/potassium/phosporus/sodium levels are just about right in the middle of the limits but my gfr was almost 4th stage 2 weeks ago and creatinine is high and my brain mud is occassional.

Ive lost a little weight but my bmi is still 25.

So im in better shape than some but worse than others ... and ... i will be sending good thoughts to all of you today.

Hello, your symptoms sound very similar to mine. I see on the previous post you did that you have a slow progression / deterioration which is what I have. I was diagnosed with stage 4 CKD with 18% EGFR two and a half years ago. Like you I am also pretty good for potassium and phosphorus and sodium. But GFR is now around 16%. I had an ultra sound scan a couple of years back and then an MRI, but both showed nothing. It is suspected I have IGAN, but they can’t tell without a biopsy and the docs did not think it was worth the risk for me at my stage. It will be interesting to see what your scan shows up for you.

Not what you're looking for?
