@jeffh So glad you were able to interface with your kidney doctor. How do you feel about what he told you in comparison to what you have read from members here?

As you recall, we usually say to look at trends in labwork versus a single result. In the case of acute kidney injury, that might come after a physical injury to the kidney area, or perhaps a sudden illness. Personally, I have had a doctor tell me to watch for prediabetes, especially as it runs in my family, so there may be a disposition towards it. But an endocrinologist or well-informed general practitioner would have more information on that.

I will be curious what your urinalysis [I assume a 24 hour collection?] and other labwork together will indicate to you and your doctor. Good luck on the low-carb/low sugar eating plan.
