Question 6

my kidney is smaller than normal what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

You are unique: If your blood tests (bun/creatine) are normal, then it is doing its job adequately, and nothing to worry about. If you mean that one is substantially smaller (like 1/5-1/10th) than other side, it is more likely from a developmental issue before you were born, and the same applies for blood tests, since we can lose/donate one kidney and function normally off the other.

Question 7

what do iga levels on the lower end of normal mean?

Accepted Answer

: It is unfortunate that you did not indicate why the Immunoglobulin levels were drawn; however I would say a low normal may mean nothing other than you have not had a recent infection to stimulate production. I would be worried if you have recurrent infections, if not it is not important.

Sometimes hydration : Can lower serum creatinine, high levels may suggest declining kidney function.

Question 9

my esr is 103mm what does this mean and is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Nothing by itself: It may be a lab error. Or it may be a tipoff that you have actual subtle disease. If the history and physical exam aren't helpful, then forget about it. The sed rate (ESR) is a poor tool to use for a fishing expedition, but it's especially helpful in picking up those musculoskeletal conditions that may be inflammatory (lupus, polymyalgia rheumatica, others).
