You might consider asking your doctor about blood/urine tests. IF you test positive for kidney problems there are natural and medical ways to prevent or limit further damage. Here is a rather boring paper (or I'm reading too many rom coms) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6832055/ . Here is one on sediment: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321338 . It is good to avoid kidney stones (drinking citrus water helps), my husband had those (painful, including blasting them).

Not all kidney concerns can be directly linked to MGUS. I had diagnosed chronic kidney disease before my MGUS. When we tested for the Bence Jones protein, it was not present. This is a very solid indicator that would show kidney involvement due to the MGUS. For me, my kidney disease is the result of a very rare autoimmune condition. Keeping our kidneys healthy, no matter what else is going on, is very important!
