Not really sure. I have an upcoming appt with a nephrologist to help, but I am anxious. I had some type of nephritis as a teen. The last was combined with tonsilitis and saw me drop to 98 lbs from 165 in a few short weeks (35 the first 3 days). Now, more than 40 years later, my latest blood and urine tests are all alarming, with gfr at 40, microalbumin/creatinine at 69.6, creatinine at 1.72, creatinine, urine at 195.3 and microalbumin, ur, qn detection limit at 135.9. How serious is this and how concerned should I be? I also had an exploratory exam which shows some blood and urine will always be present because of thin bladder tissue walls.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, I can understand your concern. All the blood and urine reports, show abnormal levels of kidney function. But like last episode of nephritis, this also looks like the same. However, youll need to have an ultrasound scan of abdomen.You'll need to observe, restricted salt, protein and fluid intake. After check-up with your nephrologist, and seeing your reports, youll need to take a course of antibiotic, with repeat check of blood and urine tests. You may contact me with reports, as a direct question. Chat Doctor.  Manga.
