Any way , they hospital have just wrote to me saying before I have my next MRI scan , which I have to have every year , Said we want you to go to your GP and get a blood test to make sure you are not at risk of renal impairment , well i thought why now , have they seen something , I havent slept well since getting the letter , so I get my blood tests Friday morning .
Has any of you gone through the same thing and what happened to you , Id love to read all your post and thank you Joy
Ps I also have cysts on Liver which don't cause a problem either

I don't know anything about the cysts, sorry, but I'm going to guess that your MRI will have a contrast agent used. They like to make sure your kidneys are fine before hand as people with kidney problems can have complications with the contrast agent.
If you normally have contrast injected with your annual MRI, I don't know why they would proceed differently but it could be a variety of things... however, it sounds to me like they are just wanting to keep up with proper protocol.
