Finally posting numbers. Mostly just the ones that don’t fall within the “normal range”.
eGFR = 26
Creatinine = 2.5
BUN = 30
Phosphorus = 4.8
And the following are different tests than what I usually see posted/mentioned but the nephrologist requested testing for. I looked them up and made notes:
Free Kappa Light Chains,Urine
(Normal 0.14-2.42 (mg/dL)
) = 6.6
Free Kappa/Lambda Ratio,Urine
(Normal 2.04-10.37 (ratio)
) = 28.7
These look for myeloma. But myeloma is indicated if the chains are monoclonal and Rick’s were polyclonal. But I’ve read that high polyclonal numbers can hide monoclonal. Need more info
ANA and complements C3 and C4 were negative. These are usually up if there’s something autoimmune is going on but ANA can be false negative Need more info.
We’re still waiting on echocardiogram results. Repeat blood and urine is being done Wednesday the 18th.
Do these numbers mean anything to anyone? I do need more info. Is creatinine the same as creatine? I’ve seen where it’s bad if creatine is double normal.
Help please.
