Has anyone had a kidney biopsy without freaking out?? I need to know what to do to calm myself down. I found out today from the nephrologist that it may be necessary.
The steps are:
1) Do urine tests every week for a month to establish kidney function patterns for protein only or both blood & protein
2) Blood work to make sure everything remains the same
3) MRI results proved Wegener's didn't invade my brain (THANK GOD!)
4) No activity in the sinuses or lungs (good sign Wegener's is behaving there)
So far over the last 7 months, protein showed up in urine tests at least 5 times but blood showed up only once...this past February.
