What exactly to look for in blood work and urine analysis to suggest kidney involvement?
My daughter has had a little high her fine Bun/ Creatinine Ratio and Protein total urine. On all the other test of protein, creatine serum and bun its been fine egfr fine, on metabolic panel. its the ratio of bun/creatine that was 25 normal is 20.
urinalysis was all perfect including protein but then under (prot+creatu random) protein total urine was 18 normal is 15. the creat/prot ratio was fine.This has been going on since the beginning but the rheumy says kidney fine and blood work fine. I finally asked why these were high and he said to look at the other blood test and everything was fine not to worry about those. That was all he said no explanation. At first i listened but after all these months not changing now im worrying. Please help me understand these labs. I am making a nephrologist appointment on my own.
