Don't be afraid. Do all that you can to improve your kidney health, including hydration, diet and exercise. Remember, the results of one test are a snapshot, Knowledge is important, so do all that you can to inform yourself.

I always worry before a test. I just finally make up my mind and get it over with. But I understand how you feel. You have to trust that what you are doing is helping and that the labs will show your work. It's all part of the game I play in my head. Best of luck for your outcomes.
I understand the Lab Test Stress...it is real!....But try to look at it as a guide...For instance: If your Potassium or Phosphorus is higher than you want try to look at your diet and try to reduce or remove that from your diet...try to substitute things that are bad with things that are good for you and realize that as your kidneys fail that it is not your fault.
Like I said ...Its a Guide..not a Report Card
