Stage 4
I'm a 77 year old male and after bouncing around in Stage 3b for a couple of years I started to get much lower results of 30 or 33, then my latest is Stage 4 at 26 eGFR. All other renal profile serum results are normal and my urine tests for albumin/creatinine ratio are normal. I've cut out added sugar

Persistent trace/low level protein in urine
Hi all I've had persistent trace or low level amounts of protein in urine tests since April -checked on 5 occasions at hospital. Sometimes there is also trace amounts of blood or white cells too. Is this something to worry about or just part of the disease? I get cystitis a lot, but doesn't necessarily

Possible early Kidney Disease?
My husband has secondary, treatment resistant, hypertension and I was looking into possible health conditions that may be causing the high blood pressure and came across polycystic kidney disease. His recent blood test/urine test showed a egfr of 69, creatinine over the high normal range and protein

Leukocytes found in urine - because of CLL?
I had a urine test which was part of my annual physical. It came back that I had leukocytes in my sample. The number mentioned was 70. I am in Canada so maybe 70 would be measured differently elsewhere. I don’t have a UTI, bladder infection. Is it possible that we could have leukocytes in our urine

Help interpreting thyroid test results
Hi. I recently had thyroid blood tests done via the NHS but I have so much brain fog I can't make head nor tail of them. My GP thinks they're a bit odd but puts it down to me taking Metavive (advised by Dr. Sarah Myhill a couple of years ago). Plus, she says I'm within the NHS range anyway so they won't

Bladder and vaginal related issues questions please ?
Phone call from GP today to say that a further prescription of Estriol cream has been issued. It looks as though this is the way forward for me so will now be using every night, it seems on the issue that this needs to be for four weeks and then dropping back to twice weekly, with an 80g tube I find

Bladder and vaginal issues.
Having had all the concern over bladder issues, which now seem to have passed, another matter has arisen, diagnosis of sore, itching and pain on urinating led to the prescribing of vegifem which having used twice caused some issue with bleeding. On being unable to contact GP due to weekend and bank

Kidney stones but not seen on ultrasound?
Hi all, I'm hoping for some advice or experience. Around 2 weeks ago I developed bad pains in my lower abdomen and a fever. My GP diagnosed a UTI and possible kidney stones based on a urine test (blood and leukocytes in urine). Antibiotics helped and sure enough I passed the stone a day or later. Pretty

Rise in PSA and extra Eligard Injection
My psa has risen from <0.01 in Feb to 0.04 in April to 0.27 in July then 0.41 this week. I had a CT and full body scan on Tuesday, which according to my MO, who I saw today, showed no ‘hotspots’. Because my PCa metastasised to 4 places in 2016 when first diagnosed, I had radiation to the prostate followed

Pity Post
Hi lovely Lupies, Be warned this is a pity post. I am despairing and need your advice please. As you know I had the nasal surgery in February which went well but I haemorrhaged afterwards. While I was in hospital my left leg became quite rigid and quickly became painful. The pain and stiffness got

A bit of an update...
It has been a while since I posted in this group about my having hematuria in my urine. I have had many tests done and no doctor has told me what is causing it. The last specialist who did a cystoscopy and 2 cat scans has alluded to my kidneys not filtering properly. I do have protein in my urine also

Nitrofurantoin - good or bad?
Not sure that this is posted in the best place, but I don't seem to be able to access any other links atm. I have been prescribed this antibiotic for traces of blood in urine just over 2 days ago. 50mg to be taken at night. Only on the third dose so it's early days, but had quick urine test done

High Leukocytes in urine
So blood tests have come back as above and I have a feeling this has been going on for some time, but not actually had a urine sample test in the past few years. In fact the only urine test was because of discharge from vagina, thought to be thrush which is now being treated. So thrush can cause

Feel Terrible - Any Advice Please?
I've tried the ashwagandha,
taurine
and even rhodiola now to help bring down the adrenaline but they're not even touching the sides. My BP 136/80 and HR 76 this evening - both are raised to my usual readings of around BP 95/60 and HR 65.
