Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Went to the hospital yesterday to see the consultant and get my latest results back. I'm not sure whether to be pleased or disappointed. For now it is disappointed. I guess it is optimism or denial, but I'd hoped the results would be stable or better. It seems my kidney function is still about normal, which is the good news. However the 24 hour collection from last October when I first showed symptoms had 300mg/day of protein. In January this was 500mg/day. The result from last week shows just over 1g/day. On each occasion the test has been done during a " flare up " . The first time whilst in hospital with the rash, the next time when I first had visible blood, and the most recent time simply by chance as I started with a sore throat and visible blood towards the end of the collection. I'm not sure how much a flare up effects the 24 hour results. Either way I'm worried about the increase. I'm being scheduled for a biopsy so hopefully that will tell me more.
