@jessetee It is not our policy to offer medical advice here on Mayo Clinic Connect. What I have is printouts from all my labtests, and I created a spreadsheet showing the results. This way I can see the trends that may happen. When doing labtests, I generally use the same clinic, so the same machines, etc. Your results may vary if you are dehydrated, or the time of day, etc.

If you are not seeing a nephrologist , I would recommend it. They are a specialty that oversees kidneys and kidney disease. Many times a general doctor, or nurse practitioner, does not have that "extra" training to be well-versed in kidney disorders. Both my oncologist and nephrologist keep close tabs on my kidney function, with labs every month due to chemotherapy and low eGFR.
