What exactly does it mean when dr. says my kidney tests are slightly elevated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High renal results: Your doctor is probably referring to high BUN and creatinine levels in your blood. Ask the doctor to order a renal ultrasound and to refer you to a nephrologist (n) for a 24 hour urine for creatinine clearance and protein. A n can give you answer to your questions and MAP out a treatment program for your, depending on the severity of your kidney disease.
