I'm an LPN with 40 yrs of experience. I have to this is a Great video. Short, sweet and to the point with just enough info to be digested by my 70 yo Aunt. Thank you! I subscribed 😊

That is so kind of you to say Sandy. I appreciate that so much!

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.

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.

[@danahsutton101]

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

[@CandycaneBeyond]

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

[@shortygee1985]

What about checking for the "RBC MAG" LAB?

[@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?.

[@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.....

[@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.

[@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 💩
