I hope you get some answers. What are you inclined to do? I wish you all the best. That must have been a terrible shock.

Does anyone know if having a colonoscopy several days before eGFR test can impact the result? I had a two day prep that was not like the first one and it was brutal. I did consume a lot of fluids. I felt my body was out of sorts and dehydrated from all the fluid I lost. The results were normal, but down a little from a year ago. September of last year I was 97. Since then I’ve lost a lot of weight, added exercise, eat a very nutritious diet, and gotten my vitamin deficiency treated. I was not expecting a decline. My doctor said normal, no problem, but…. I’m returning in 3 months to recheck.

You are speaking to the wrong individual. One colonoscopy when I turned 50
and now 76. I at one time was a Medical Malpractice Litigator. What I have
heard Doctor testify makes me reluctant to go to the doctor. In a
nutshell, my kids are backed up and no evident stones. Urologist believes
urine is backing up from the bladder because of restriction from BPH. I
have BPH but no symptoms. Wife says bullshit,No surgery. I live in
Waikiki Beach and as I have learned there is only a couple of Urologists
around.
