What does it mean when your doctor tells you your kidneys are low?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say.: Not really sure what that means precisely. Perhaps your kidney function is a bit low based on a blood test result? Your best bet would be to go back to your doctor and ask him/her to offer a more detailed explanation. I'm sure he/she will be more than happy to clear it up. Best of luck!
