Thanks all.
I looked up my husband’s results based on your comments.
It looks like his recent dx is due to him being on the cusp.
EGFR is 59
ALBUMIN/CREATININE RATIO, RANDOM URINE is 87

So if he drinks lots of water before and afterward, he should be ok.
We will discuss future contrast with oncology at CT review appt.

@abob true- extra hydration the day before, the day of and the day after…my numbers are borderline as well and don’t want contrast adversely affecting kidney health..

@abob read that you can ask the CT tech for IV hydration after imaging is done…no harm in asking !
