Thx for the welcome ♥️

Diagnosis hopefully after biopsy as they aren't 100% I am in ramapril , so I'll just have to get on with it like the rest of you , night sweats , frequent toilet visits , sore head, muscle aches etc .

Only recently started feeling nauseous after I pass urine more so the early morning toilet visit .. anyway hopefully my ramblings make sense and my grammar is questionable lol

Hi All

What a day , biopsy done so hopefully they have what is needed for diagnosis.

I've got a good bit of muscle on me so

It made it a challenge but five goes of the needle and it's now time to wait on results.

Weirdest feeling ever .

They're not nice are they! Done and dusted now though, try not to fret too much about the results, your nephrologist will get you sorted! Your blood results are very similar to mine and same egfr too, let us know how you're getting on 😊

Just been told that the 5 attempts at a biopsy didn't retrieve enough for a diagnosis ..my kidneys are to deep !

So a CT scan has been mentioned , yes I'm frustrated but ho hum eah .

Too deep??? I haven’t heard that before. When is the CT scheduled?

I just had CT scans for transplant eligibility testing. A really easy procedure; it just took some time. You’ve got this!!
