My dr 1st told me that my kidney level was at 62 and that was good, but later that month I had blood work done and it had dropped to 52. When I came back in later that it changed so had me to redo new blood test. now 47. so he sent me back to be new test now at 43, now Friday he wants me to do new blood test. What should my level be and should I be worried?
Hi. Thank you for writing to Chat Doctor. I think it would be better if you give me the name of the test that was used. There are a few tests like the Urea levels in the blood which can range from 40 to 60. The kidney function based on creatinine can also range for 40 % function to 60% function. I believe that your Doctor is going to test for creatinine levels again to determine if the kidney is functioning well or not. Ideally a kidney function of 100% is needed. You will need dialysis at approximately 50% depending on the symptoms. Please confirm this with your Doctor or send me more details of your reports. Hope this helps you.  Chat Doctor.
