When she said you have to order it, she just means you have to order a copy of your medical records. They have you sign a release, even if it’s just for yourself. It’s because of HIPPA regulation.

I’m trying to learn what the kidney scarring means

Hi

There’s nothing to worry about kidney scar. It means that you’ve experienced severe urinary infection or urinary reflux in past when being so young. It won’t hurt you at all and won’t alter anything in your health situation.

I also have this in my left kidney.

Not all UTI,s cause the burning pain of cystitis, I had one that was found post operatively some years ago.

It was only picked up when my GP got the post operative report from the hospital and he called me to pick up a prescription, that was after having it some six weeks.
