That's a tough one. I have great respect for the overwhelming workload our doctors have, but also get wanting to have the results reviewed with you in a timely manner. Perhaps try talking to his nurse, leaving a message for them, explaining that you are having difficulty reaching him and that you want to discuss your recent lab tests . Also remember that some tests take longer to come back and they could be waiting for those tests, to get the full picture.
But if this problem continues and is a persistent complication for you, getting a new doctor is always an
option for you. Hoping you get to speak to them soon.

Thanks Fam,

I finally received a message from Doc via my portal and he said my kidney function is stable, and all my blood work was fine and urine, advised me to keep blood pressure under control. Now since then I went to the ER because I kept feeling light headed and somewhat unbalanced when I walk. They admitted me and gave me the works, an Echo, MRI, Cat scan and everything was normal. Thank God Now they kept me on fluid and while there my creatin went down from 2.4 to 2.0 and GFR went up from 27 to 34, I was encouraged, I pray the Lord keeps it stable. I Thank all of you for your support via this board.
