No, you're not in danger of kidney failure. Mildly elevated serum urea (serum urea means in your blood, not your urine) has many causes, such as aspirin, many other medications, dehydration, abnormal bleeding somewhere in your body, and extra protein in your diet (this information is from a web page, not medical training). Anyway, your excellent creatinine and eGFR levels indicate (to me) that its not a kidney issue.

thanks, gp said that the renal team think it might be my high blood pressure that's causing it and that they are not concerned, yeah but they are never concerned till it reaches stage 3 or 4.

if it's not a kidney issue why have I got bubbles in the toilet bowl, you can have a good egfr and still have protein in your urine samples.

Not what you're looking for?
