Guest guest Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hi,I went to the urologist today They did a test for the flow, it is not working really, the flow is good but so little comes out, and my bladder is not draining still. It drains about half way at best, but I still feel so bloated, and right after I wee I feel like I have to go again. The good news is the burn is gone. The had to put the tube back in for this test, but this time I got a local they said it would not hurt, but it did. Do doctors like to hurt you?I was hoping to have the scope done today (to just finish everything there), but I will have to wait until the end of the week. He did tell me I should start a low salt diet, but I am not sure why. My appetite is still bad, and I can't eat meat, the smell of it is gross so I am doing smoothies,fruits and veggies mostly. I am thinking about sticking with a veggie diet for good. Not sure if this is good, as meat has protein and you need that I think. I am also drinking a crazy amount of water about 300 ounces a day.I found out today that the doctors use Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as a test for the health of your kidneys. My creatine level is 1.3. The urologist said they liver doctors should have noticed this level was high, as he asked if it has been this high I didn't know. He did not mention anything about kidney failure, but I did a web search and found this site:http://www.davita.com/gfr_calculator/# it says my GFR is 60, which is stage 2 kidney disease, please tell me this is not true!here is a picture of mine http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1775689/GFR.pngthanks,ny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
