What Causes The Improper Working Of Kidneys?
My husband went to his Heart Doctor for the results from a blood. A fasting blood draw. He told him he wants him to see a Kidney Doctor because he does not think the kidneys are working correctly and also told him he was anemic? What could cause this? He had 39 radiation treatments last Novem.ber thru January. Thank you for taking my question. Sincerely, Patti Dupuis

Dear madam, greetings from HCM. I understand your concern. Your husband blood report might have revealed high urea , creatinine levels. The reason for this we need to go for complete evaluation. If he is diabetic it could be due to uncontrolled sugar levels . check his HbA1c , fasting glucose levels. He can get other kidney functions like T99 technitum radilabelled scan. Clearance tests . also ultrasound abdoman . anemia is common is kidney disease.
With all these reports meet us for further advice . thanks
