Posted , 5 users are following.
I'm sure you all remember me. I posted here 2 months ago about being worried about having kidney disease. Well I went to the doctor on Wednesday of this week. And I was able to view some of my blood test results online. However I don't exactly know what they mean. I am going back to my doctor again next Wednesday. But i wanted to see if you all could explain the blood test results to me before I go back? Here are my results.
CREATININE-RANDOM, URINE 97 mg/dL 20 - 320 mg/dL
MICROALBUMIN 0.5 mg/dL See Note: mg/dL
Reference Range:

MICROALBUMIN CREATININE RATIO RANDOM 5 mcg/mg creat <30 mcg/mg creat
The ADA defines abnormalities in albumin
excretion as follows:
So does 97 mg/dl mean that my kidney function is at 97 percent? I don't really understand. Here is a picture of it too. I know that i upset you all a few weeks ago. but i would appreciate your help. thank you.

I'm only 30 though. So is a EGFR of 88 for a 30 year old kinda bad? I am just worried because i think mine should really be at least around 95 to 100. I think it's alittle bit low for my age. I'm just concerned that I could eventually have kidney failure when I get to be in my 60s or 70s. But i know that I can do something about it now so that I can have a stable kidney function for along time. I already do need to go on a diet because I have fatty liver disease. So i know that my liver problem is the biggest concern now. Hopefully the diet i go on for my liver would help my kidneys. I just am concerned that i am in danger of kidney failure when I get older. But maybe if i take the steps to get healthier now I won't have kidney problems when I get older.
