Hi, @australia, I wake up in the middle of the night, too...usually around 3 am. Luckily I can most often go back to sleep after reading or playing computer games for awhile. As for nephrologist,vs neurologist, smiles, some of us, like me, see both...kidney & neuropathy.

A really good website that helped me learn to understand my kidney labs was http://www.kidneyschool.org. It has really helpful learning modules: Module 7 is on Understanding Kidney Lab Values. I've shared the site with many others diagnosed with ckd and maybe it might be one you and others might share with those with kidney disease but who don't know how to read lab results? If they don't choose to learn, that is another matter entirely.

I agree that asking questions and then more questions and doing individual research has been pivotal in my learning to better manage my health conditions.

Hi Fiesty 76 -- Georgia from Australia. I don't get up at night because of kidneys --that is just waiting for the U.S. stock exchange to open --- In old age one has to find an occupation that one can accomplish while lying in a hospital bed - Once I was in pre-op, in the bare feet and backless gown --asked to telephone - and nurse said "I am sure you feel better now that you talked to your mother". "Yes, thank you" -it was my stock broker. !!!
