kidney fuction

[snoopyt2 34]

Just curious if anyone else has had an abnormal urinalysis. My doctors office called today to say that my creatinine levels was pretty high and I am a little dehydrated. They also said I had Protein in my urine. I'm a year out from being sleeved. I know I don't drink as much as I should. I don't have a history of any kidney disease in my family.

Are you exercising alot - or did you before urinalysis? Are you diabetic? Dehydration may be the cause of the Protein in your urine too.

Yep, I had Protein in my urine at about my one year f/u. My doctor made me wait three or maybe four months & retest. It was all ok.

Don't stress over it ( I know easier said then done) . Just follow doctors orders & think positive!

Do u remember if your creatinine level was elevated as well? That does make me feel better especially since everything else was normal.

I am a nurse, so this is only my opinion. Unless you have a history of kidney issues, then your elevated creatine is more than likely due to not getting enough Fluid in. Dehydration can cause an elevated creatine to put it in easy terms. Also the Protein in your urine is more than likely due to the high protein diet, if you are following that. Drink more fluids and everything should correct itself without any worries.

@@snoopyt2, I don't recall my doctor saying anything about my creatinine, however I do drink a lot of Water.< /p>

Just as Hello new Me posted, my doctor said the Protein in my urine was due to an increased protein diet. It all eventually leveled off. Hoping the same news for you too.

Drink your water young lady!:-)

High creatinine is typically from dehydration.
