Guest guest Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 Laurie, I know this must be very scary for you. How soon can you speak to a doctor about your labs and symptoms? I'll be praying that you get some good news for a change and that your fears are groundless. Hugs, Jeanie Lupus Nephritis I received copies of my medical records (doctor's notes and labs from May to present) from my primary doctor today. I like to keep on this because you learn about things that doctors never tell you. I am concerned that I may have lupus nephritis. My labs this past July and November indicate that my Bun/Creatinine Ratio are high. My urine has been dark and I get such horrible swelling of my ankles and lower legs and sometimes my fingers. These are all symptoms. So, anyone who has this or is familiar with this, would you please give me your opinion? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 Laurie, Sorry, I have been off the list (problem with Yahoo). Just checking msgs on their website which is a pain for me (I use Outlook). Please do not panic. First of all, do you know what your Creatinine level is at? I've had Lupus Nephritis for 16 years and know about the different levels. Your urine may be dark and smelly from a urinary track infection that may not be giving you any other symptoms. I'm leaving for a bit, but I'll be back later. See if you can tell me the level. Mojo > Laurie, > I know this must be very scary for you.
