[QUOTE="whompa73, post: 429154, member: 79538"] I realy should stop asking questions at the drs when I know im not going to get a definative answer. I asked about my kidney function test last week and was told by dn oh its in the relms of normal or did she say expectid wch ever ot was I found it to be an evasive answer. So today when at drs about scan ( cyst on kidney but not affecting kidney . And very fatty liver ) I asked what my gfr was as I had heared the term on here and though I should know especially as I disstrust my dn and dr . Any how he said it was greater than 60 . Well I know normal is above 90 and obviously 90 IS above 60 after all. Buy im guessing it doesnt mean that . I had already been told last week I have kidney damage and a half harted grunt when I askd if it was diabetic kidney disese . I hadnt realy looked it up before tonight but now I have I'm a bit annoyed, not knowing realy what kidney disese was (and still dont realy) I had thought diabetic kidney disese was dangerous but not as dangerous as real kidney diese (strange how the mind workes ). I had heared people on here talk about ckd and thought oh that must be terrible they have got the real thing mine is just somthing the diabetes has caused/related.
