Nephrologist: Your father's kidneys are ill and you should consult a nephrologist to see if further damage can be prevented or delayed.

My father 72, has serum creatinin from 1.8 to 2.5 but has no creatinin in 24h urine. Are kidneys ill? Which other tests to be done?
Serum free light chain test shows normal kappa (8.7mg/dl), low lambda (3.80), high kap/lam ratio (2.31). Serum $ urine electrophoresis show no monoclonal protein, nor does serum immunofixation. Likely MGUS, myeloma, or admyloidosis? CBC/met panel ok.
I've had an electrophoresis test done, serum & urine. Results show a spike in the beta and gamma regions. No monoclonal protein. What does this mean? I have proteinuria and fsgs stage 3. I am 50
Hi Doc. How to compute my EGFR in kidney disease. My Creatinine Serum is 0.80 mg/dL, Female, 31 years old and Filipina. But my protein in urine test is 3+ and RBC in urine is 3+?
Good evening doctors. Is the immunofixation of the serum blood test which checks for monoclonal proteins the same as the urine test for amyloydosis which looks for light chain monoclonal?
