Anyone know what it means if your kidney filtration rate is low? I saw my Rheumy yesterday to get the paperwork started for disability. I had new blood tests and she said she was concerned as my filtration rate was 34 with normal being 60 - 128. She said she wouldn't be worried if I were older and the rate was around 50 but this had her concerned. Also my "BUN" was high at 14 and my Creatinine Serum was 1.57.
I'm going to re-check the info about blood tests on a couple of others. I also told her about that bruising on my foot that I had and she immediatly started feeling my leg. She thinks my left calf is tighter and more swollen than the right and she's ordered an ultrasound of my leg (as well as the kidneys).
