Hello Ladies and Gents
I have a couple of questions if that's okay.
Week before last i had a urine test done when i had my DN 3rd appointment and my urine showed a trace of protein so she sent the sample off for testing.
2 days later my Dr phoned me at home to say the sample showed a water infection and he was leaving me a script to collect - 500mg Ceflexin 3x day. ( I had no symptoms of UTI )
When at the drs he told me my liver and kidney function test for some reason hadnt been done so last Thursday i went and had that done. Today a letter from the drs saying phone to make an appointment regarding my blood test - So i managed to make one for this evening.
DN said my results were 51 and that on a scale of 1-5 my kidney function was a 3 and we really needed to get it too 2 - She then did my blood pressure which was 143/91 and said oh thats high i will test you again in afew minutes = 135/81 with a oh thats better :?
She then asked for a urine sample which i gave her and again there was protein.
I am now having a 2nd blood test on Monday morning as the Dr said he didnt want to go off one kidney test incase my UTI had affected it.
Question - result 51 is that bad ? Can i change it ? How?
Protein - What is it an how is it getting there? Can i do anything to not make i be there?Am i doing something wrong?
I am maintaining good BG levels after meals under 6.5 and often under 6
Apologies for all the questions just i was so flustered at the DN appointment and i am now really concerned and honestly worried.
There was talk of putting me on blood pressure lowring meds but i really want to avoid meds if this is something i can fix myself.
Thank you in advance.
