Hi Folks,
I have a question that is directed more to my CHF and my kidneys than heart valve related but I was hoping that since your all so knowledgeable you might be able to give me some insights as to whether I need to be concerned about these kidney levels. I don't know maybe these readings are ok for people with CHF.
I just had my blood work checked and my kidney readings are all elevated. The BUN is 45, Creatinine 1.46, and BUN/creatinine ratio is 31. My GFR is 37 which is listed as low.
Are these results anything to be worried about? Also in the last two weeks I have gained some weight and noticed my abdomen has gotten larger. I took a lasek and lost 2 1/2 pounds in one day. I haven't taken anymore lasek because it causes my blood pressure to get very low - 78 over 48 is typical. My blood pressures run low around 90 over 60. I have also been very fatiqued and have difficulty when I walk on the tread mill which I do about 5 days a week for approximately 20 minutes a day.
Could these symptoms be developing due to the kidney readings? Do I need to go back to the CHF clinic. I am due to see my cardiologist in a approximately two weeks.
Thank you for your help.
