Greetings! Looks like lab work labyrinth. Do you have a Hem/onc physician who can interpret these results for you? One of the pitfalls of My Chart is that you can see lab results almost immediately and are out there fretting about it long before you see a physician.
I would encourage you to call your physician and ask for information or at least an expedited appointment. Stress and anxiety will make you feel sick and can actually kick your white blood count into gear.
Dr Google is a glass-half-full kind of guy so try to avoid his counsel.
This board is great with some practical tips on negotiating the medical systems and especially as support. I’m glad you found us.

Hi @116w72ndst, I'd like to add my welcome and to let you know that I moved your post to this existing discussion:
- Does anyone else have MGUS?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mgus-diagnosis/

I did this so that you can read previous posts and continue to connect with @pmm and the whole MGUS gang, including @gingerw @mjlandin @deborahjb @raye @tallyteresa @ea1 and many more.

My nephrologist (kidney specialist) said the eGFR only goes to 60!

A friend of mine has one kidney and she has eGFR 38 and is turning 93 in February 2024!
