Brief Answer:
Yes, go in earlier than planned!
Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks for finally getting the results to me.
I have reviewed the information fully and the concentration of salts in your urine is concerning to me. I will suggest that you increase your fluid intake significantly. I would have said you were somewhat dehydrated but for the fact that you have a urine volume of 2500ml. The high concentration of salts make the likelihood of stones very high. I am not sure if your doctor has been seeing similarly high numbers before. If these numbers are not too different from previous ones, then there might be a chance that you stick to your appointment. If not, I suggest you go in earlier.
I have a strong feeling that there is a genetic predisposition to this condition. Talk to a nephrologist and let's see if they have more details about this.
I hope this helps. I wish you well and await more updates from you.
