Hi johnmacc,
Thanks for your suggestions and interest. I am 67 yrs old. Can you tell me how I could find my creatinine # ? Also, what is an egfr#? I do work to keep my sodium low.
Thanks again

Hi. You just need to ask your doc to run a blood test on it. Tell them you want your creatinine level and egfr #. That stands for globular filtration rare. These two things will help your doc determine what your kidney function looks like. And yes, keep your sodium level low. Your doc or nephrologist can guide you along. Hope this helps, I'd be happy to be a sounding board for you along the way. John

Hi Poppy67, I’m LittleBit71
Do you have an app for the clinic or hospital you use? It will give you your test results so you can keep check. I live in Alabama and my doctors are at a hospital called Brookwood Baptist Clinic. All my doctors are on it and I get my blood tests and other kinds of test on this app. If you don’t have one check with your doctor and see if they have one. I really hope this helps.
