Hi Ginger.

Thanks for the input. I do have high BP which I take meds for. Looking back at my labs several years there were cases my eGFR was 5.8 and 5.9 once but usually just above 6. And the next to last lab in Oct said 7.1(or2). So from that to 44.? Odd. 1.6 creatinine which is elevated but not THAT much. In Oct it was 1.12. Maybe the radiation messing with my system. Don't know. Just waiting to get into the speicalist. WOuld think that when they see my reports and labs, they'll want to see me asap. Hopefully.

@jeffh High blood pressure and diabetes are two of the leading causes for kidney disease. Controlling those two conditions can have a big say in how the resulting kidney problems can help to be resolved. You didn't mention what type of lymphoma you have, but there is some indication it can affect kidney function.

You may need to push for the appointment with a nephrologist. Be your own advocate!
