@sallylynn, glad your labs were ok. If you have nephropathy, seeing a nephrologist would be a good plan. I happen to know that as people grow older, mild nephropathy isn't all that unusual.

I'm also a diabetic so am used to the pins and needles of diabetic nerve damage but many kidney websites also say itching can have many causes, including too much or too little potassium or phosphorus in the bloodstream. I'm not a doctor, I'm just passing along what I have read or experienced.

I can relate to the burning itching especially, though, as I had shingles several years ago and still have burning itching where the shingles lesions were. I'm also convinced that the physiological trauma of the shingles contributed to my sudden eGFR decrease and the necessity for urgent dialysis. Fortunately, I've recovered somewhat and no longer need dialysis.

Am sending you positive vibes that your labs stay stable.
