Thread: Kidney worries

    Kidney worries

    I had a blood test recently that showed high potassium. Since then I’ve noticed my pee is pretty bubbly. I also feel less hungry, but can’t tell if it’s because of my anxiety. Today my calf muscles have been twitching, and the other day I had a throbbing pain in my lower left abdomen near my hip and groin. I’m 25 don’t have diabetess or family history of kidney issues. I have been pretty dehydrated, which I heard can give you a high potassium reading.

    That's it 100% I recently had bloods done and kidney function was off. I was told to hydrate as much as possible and went in for a re-test. The levels dropped dramatically.

    I have freaking foam not bubbles so that is not indication of kidney status.

    You did any other test or just pottasium? ESR? Creatinine?
