Just want to clarify...when you say that you had to request blood tests before your next annual appointment, were you saying that the doctor didn't proactively order them and, so, the onus was on you to ask for them?

@my44 I consistently have to proactively order them, the nephrologist tends not to. I was supposed to have a standing order when I first saw the MD a few years ago but it never happened. I will discuss this with her since I am having Reclast infusions which can be dangerous for kidneys. To be fair, I had blood tests a couple of months ago due to an MRI w/contrast order (didn't do it) and so maybe that is being used but I want a recent one since mine is so up and down.
