RN, PA Or Doc Out There Gotta Question

I'm glad to hear your husband is seeking a more professional interpretation of his results & what that means for your family.

Until then, remember, this is only one test. Done one time. The results could be atypical due to circumstances.

Also, this is only one test. With no other values to compare with & interpret from. So one number doesn't necessarily define a disease.

I found a site I think will be helpful for you & your husband to gain more insight.

Praying for an opportunity with a specialist to happen soon, & for positive outcomes. T.

What kind of specialist is he, going to?
A Nephrologist, is best.
Kidney disease, is common. And the causes vary.
It can be due to many reasons.
It is wise, to get referred to a specialist.

I'm not a Doc or RN or PA. But my late Dad, had kidney disease. And had Diabetes.

I don't think you would actually get a doctor or PA to answer this question for you here, though a nurse might venture to. I do think you've gotten good advice. A nephrologist is an excellent idea.

What you have to remember is that NO TEST is 100% accurate 100% of the time. A number that's outside the healthy range isn't necessarily bad. It can be influenced by SOOOOO much.

It all depends on how FAR outside the healthy range the numbers fall. A cold will elevate your white blood cell count ... but that doesn't mean you have a systemic infection or leukemia.

It also depends on how OFTEN it falls outside of the healthy range.
