Hello, I was diagnosed one year ago. I recently had my blood draw, it is only drawn once a year. My numbers had went up a little, but the doctor did not think it was cause for concern. I’m concerned. I have hip pain that has lasted for over a year. My doctor says I need a new hip. My kidney function is down to 33, and according to my lab work I have anemia. I have type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure. I have not had an issue with either in over two years or longer. I just don’t think yearly testing is enough. I now have a nephrologist, I can’t wait to see what he thinks about all of this. Is my numbers up because of my low kidney function, or is my kidney function low because of my numbers? I can’t shake this feeling, that I have a reason for concern.
