Is There A Risk Of Kidney Failure With Kidney Blood Test 57 And Pain Under The Rib Cage ?
My kidney blood test was 57 am I at any risk for kidney failure. I also have pain under my rib cage and around my back on the left side. Sometimes it feels like someone is tightening a belt around me. That's when I start throwing up.
My doctor does not feel concerned about this. But I did insist on a ct scan. Will get results on Monday.

Hello.To know the status of kidney function,it is necessary a measurement of the levels of urea and creatinine in blood .If levels are increased and your doctor suspected kidney pathology, an ultrasound is the first additional test required.
If the ultrasound will show kidney lesions , perhaps is necessary to make tc-scan.
Follow the recommendations of your doctor.I wish you good health.
