There aren't many videos on intermittent fasting (such as fasting 18:6, 20:4, 24 hours, etc., while drinking non-caloric beverages). I find it very helpful in controlling the ridiculous amount of inflammation I have from rheumatoid arthritis and possibly lupus, it helps me take fewer corticosteroids, but I don't want to damage my kidneys even further. It would be interesting to hear your opinion on it.

[@estellezimmerman1199]

Thank you very much for sharing this information. You always have the best, easy to understand videos👍.

[@thecookingdoc]

I really thank you for that Estelle. Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback.

[@MaryGatdula]

Well now I have to look at my results again and see if I can figure out now as all the results are listed under initials instead of actually spelled out. But everything is listed in this exact order then I'm in luck.

[@jpintero6330]

Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! Would a silica supplement (Biosil) hurt the kidneys?

[@CandycaneBeyond]

What about diametricious earth

[@chucklove5737]

@@CandycaneBeyond be careful with that diametric earth. It can fuck your kidneys up.

[@CandycaneBeyond]

How would you be able to get accurate results if im drinking a ton of water for a possible kidney stone?

[@directajith]

I took glutathione suppliments for a while. Stopped after some time. Then my ggt level became high (175). Its not decreasing . Why is it so?

[@jp7357]

If (theoretically) one’s eGFR calculated from createnine is 59 but eGFR from cystatin-c is 85 all other blood and urine markers perfect … should this theoretical person just use eGFR/cyctatin-c from now on?.

[@danahsutton101]

I don't show bicarbonate on my result. Is there another name for it?

[@momentomori1747]

On my lab work it is listed as Carbon Dioxide.

[@orvillemalijan]

CO2 or TCO2

[@suemartine5913]

Is creatinine 0.67 a good level?

[@rp7r54]

Your Creatinine level of 0.67 is a Low Creatinine level. Low Creatinine levels may signal health problems. Generally, levels between 0.9 mg/dL to 1.3 mg/dL are considered normal. However, if your levels fall outside this range, it is important to seek medical advice. Consulting a doctor for abnormal creatinine levels is recommended.

[@krystenme6841]

Then you go to a hospital in UK and with out of range high levels of creatinine, albumin, bilirubin and out of range low levels of Haematocrit, MCH and more they say it's all okay, we don't know why you are in pain, go home, if you are still in pain in a couple weeks ask your General Practitioner if they think you need to do more tests.....

[@georgiabraun9675]

Can you make video about eosinophils, absolute eosinophil count, eosinophil reference ranges 30-350 up to 500, and 0.0 to 0.6 and the formula used eosinophil % times white blood cell count equals reference number.

[@galaxxydoll]

My creatnine is 0. 😮 My doctor hasn’t called me so I’m going down a hole here lol.

[@thecookingdoc]

is it 0 point something?

[@squirrelcovers6340]

I learned from Google.

[@AC-tn1cy]

Or the doctor doesnt even look at it, or doesnt know how to read blood tests when it's pretty much slaps them in the face with "Abnormal" reference ranges.

[@JohnnyBravo-zu9oe]

Yeah the Drs don't interpret 💩
