[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2470647, member: 6467"] Firstly, to calculate eGFR use an online calculator such as [URL]https://ukidney.com/nephrology-resources/egfr-calculator[/URL] Other sites are available. Secondly, the left hand column is the reading; the right hand column is the range of "normal" values. A lot of the readings are much higher than the "normal" values, so this does not look good. Serum creatinine is around 10x the normal value. Serum uric acid is around 5x the normal value. Blood urea is around 10x normal value. Blood urea nitrogen is around 10x normal value. We are not doctors or diagnosticians here, but these results look very high. In your original post you said that the kidneys were working at 40%. We assumed that this was an eGFR value but this seems very unlikely from the figures you posted. If you could come back with a calculated eGFR it would help our understanding. On a range of good->bad I would suggest that the results are at the bad end. As a non-medical person I could believe that the kidneys were not filtering the blood properly. [/QUOTE]
