Low kidney function: What does it mean? Should I be worried?

No, as a matter of fact my doctor basically told me, "See you next year." No words that I should make an appointment to consult her at her office. Nothing.

I've made an appointment to see her to discus my labs and current medications for Friday. Like I said, the phone call as terrifying both in it's implications, and it's less than emergent tone.

Hi, @thecorporatespy. I'm glad to hear that you and your doctor will meet on Friday to talk in more detail about your laboratory results and other issues causing your apprehensions. That's the best medicine I could imagine for dealing with too-little information about what's going on with our health. Hope you have time to jot down a list of questions that are most worrisome for you now -- and perhaps in the longer run of the past. I'll bet that your worries will be relieved a great deal from just getting information from an expert professional. The final brick in this structure is mutual respect and trust between you and your medical team -- your Primary Care Provider and any specialists on whom you rely. And you can get a measure of confidence also from other members of Mayo Connect. Martin
