That seems extreme. A sonogram might be useful.
This all started when my doctor's Physician Assistant was going over all of my stuff with me.
She said, ''Oh, your colonoscopy is great, your bone scan is very good, your echocardiogram is fine and your mammogram is great. But you have Chronic Kidney Disease and you must get a sonogram right away."
I called my doctor next afternoon and he said . You do not have ckd. You are fine. Come back in three months and we will retest.
I am not even sure if it is possible to discern the difference...
How did you survive being in end stage for 10 years??

Well- all I did was to completely change my life in terms of what I was eating. I've always been into exercise so I just kept doing that and even increased it a bit by taking up the sport of fencing. I also left the nephrologist I was seeing who wanted me to immediately get a fistula and found one who was willing to work with me to stay off dialysis.
