The Doc didn't say a word. What should I do?
I recently was going over my records from a pretty signigicant accident which occurred 3 yrs ago. I had several CT scans both in the hospital and our patient. One of the Drs. sent me for a CT scan 1 1/2 years later and since I was having the CT with contrast I was sent for a blood test. I was cleared for the test and I happened to view the blood test now 1 1/2 yrs later and I noticed my alkaline phosphatase was 177, ALT was 42 and my eGFR was 59. I am a female over 50 and am wondering if I have kidney damage or what. Not a single dr said a word to me in regards to the test and I had the CT scan performed. All this time has past and I am still here, however I am wonder what I should do.
Just have them re-test your creatinine. See where it is at. If your not having any symptoms that go along with kidney disease I wouldn't worry about it much.

I would talk to your doctor and get them to do another GFR to confirm the results, and ask them if altering your diet or reducing NSAIDS is necessary. I know for me I will be on the diet for life, although I have loosened it a bit. I am not quite as strict as I was in the beginning.
