Some advice if possible

Hi jack412 me again, just working my way through the sites you've given me, I've found serum urea levels and serum creatinine levels which I think are the kidney tests ?
Sorry to keep taxing your brain
 
I would want to look after them, if you were a mouse, I'd 'recommend' you went LCHF ketogenic <50g :)

A type of low-carb, high-fat diet that's typically used to manage seizures for children with epilepsy could reverse kidney disease in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics, a new animal study suggests.

Slightly decreased GFR between 60‐89 mL/min/1.73m2
If your kidney function is at stage 1 or 2, medical advice removed (anna29)

Please remember we cant offer any diagnosis or medical advice here .
Any concerns or queries regards either of these .
Seek your GP or DSN advice on them .
 
Thanks I'll check out some of the info you've given I know you said I should look after them at beginning of your previous post,
My urea level is
2.4mmol/L (2.5-7.8) "Low"
And my creatinine is
63 umol/L (65-117) "Low"

Your posts are helpful :-)

I'm sorry it seemed I was giving medical advise, it wasn't what I intended
previously I told mason to ask the nurse about his blood test results..now it's a bit of a chat and my comment you edited was a direct quote from a kidney site that I linked

http://www.kidney.org.au/KidneyDisease/tabid/578/Default.aspx

Stage 1: A normal GFR greater than or equal to 90 mL/min/1.73m2
Stage 2: Slightly decreased GFR between 60‐89 mL/min/1.73m2

If your kidney function is at stage 1 or 2, you only have CKD if you have albuminuria, haematuria, a pathological abnormality or a structural abnormality.

Stage 3a: Mild‐moderate decrease in GFR between 45‐59 mL/min/1.73m2
Stage 3b: Moderate‐severe decrease in GFR between 30‐44 mL/min/1.73m2

Stage 4: Severe decrease in GFR between 15-29 mL/min/1.73m2
Stage 5: Kidney failure as GFR decreases to less than 15 mL/min/1.73m2 or dialysis is started


Your eGFR and albuminuria results are combined to provide an overall picture of how well your kidneys are working. Your doctor uses this information to decide which treatment is best for you. Treatment also depends on the cause of your kidney damage. Controlling diabetes and high blood pressure can help to slow or prevent further kidney damage. It also reduces the risk of other health problems, such as heart attacks and strokes.
 
I'm very sorry if I've caused any problems or upset to anyone, It was not intended and it was not my intention to get anyone into trouble I totally accept the responsibility for this due to the fact my GP had asked for a second set of bloods without a reason and I was looking for advice sorry especially to jack412 sorry :-)
 
Hi @masonbason63 ,

This explains about reference ranges,

The first step in determining a reference range is to define the population to which the range will apply. A large number of individuals from a group who are thought to represent a "normal" population, will be tested for a particular laboratory test. The reference range is then derived mathematically by taking the average value for the group and allowing for natural variation around that value (plus or minus 2 standard deviations from the average). In this way, ranges quoted by labs will represent the values found in 95% of individuals in the chosen ‘reference’ group. In other words, even in a "normal" population, a test result will lie outside the reference range in 5% of cases (1 in 20). This is why the term "reference range" is preferred over "normal range"

When you examine test results from different populations, you quickly discover that what is "normal" for one group is not necessarily normal for another group. Indeed for tests such as cholesterol the idea of a normal range has been replaced to a large extent by use of target values, achieved either by lifestyle changes or active treatment.
