Default went to a nephrologist...

finally i was able to go to look more into years of trace to moderate blood in urine.
plus, talked a lot about my ongoing muscle and nerve symptoms. She said for years my blood has been repeated and never flagged for a problem with kidneys. all functions are normal so not much more to look. she said to be definiate you have to do a kidney biopsy and its not needed if blood work is good.

I asked her if she sees patients with my symptoms and kidney issue. she said "no" but yes as a secondary cause.

She is repeating kidney functions and c4,c3, sed rate nd sending my urine to pathology. She is adding a pelvic ct. (never had that done)

she is also sending urnie to a nephrocor...the name of the test is renalvysion.
she said its a new test that looks for problem for blood in urine. she said we still dont know hoe to interpret it 100% but gives picture.

i showed her the blood work that shows elevated IGG, IGA, IGE and she just said "no idea what this means"

Which doctor do I need to go to that can interpret the immunogloulins.
My immunologist oredered it but he even dosent know what to do next with it.

she also said to go back to urologist as in 2001 i was diagnosed with cystitis. to repeat cystoscopy.

she said she is not alarmed by the blood in urine. she said she can think of two disease that can cause this and both a benign..and need a biopsy to confirm.
she said there are people who have a thin membrane ...(details..).that cause tiny amounts of blood to leak and no big deal.

in the presence of perfect function of kidneys...only wait and watch...

I am getting dizzy going in circles....
