A recap

So I have had so many tests and procedures up to now. I didn't even know there was that much stuff to test for. I have had a kidney biopsy, full skeletal x-rays, an MRI, an ultrasound, a bone marrow biopsy, an EKG, an echocardiogram, and an alphabet soup full of blood and urine tests (the usual ones plus ones like PT, APTT, Factor 10 activity, kappa lambda light chains, protein electrophoresis, immunoelectrophoresis, beta 2 microglobulin, troponin 1, BNP, ALT serum, AST serum, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin serum, albumin serum, calcium serum, lactate dehydrogenase, random glucose, serum cortisol, TSH, rheumatoid factor, serum creatnine, serum potassium, phosphorus, cryoglobulin, Westegren ESR, PTH, C3 complement, C4 complement, ANCA vasculitid, Anti GBM, Hep B, Hep C, Anti Hep C, ANA, Anti DNA, Anti Smith, C reactive protein, PT, Blood protein, blood calcium, CK MB Isoenzyme, Uric acid, reticulytes, chloride, carbon dioxide, and I'm tired of typing this in, but you get the idea!) Some of the results have been stellar and normal, some have been borderline, and some are so far out of whack that it's scary! I've also been taking more and more meds all the time.

I have had many diagnoses. In order #1 your kidneys are fine--drink more water

#2 Kidney failure due to repeated bladder infections

#3 Kidney failure due to high blood pressure

#4 Kidney failure due to preeclampsia during pregnancies 27+ years ago

#5 Kidney failure due to fibrilary glomulernephritis

#6 Kidney failure due to Amyloidosis

My kidney biopsy started out and Stanford, then was sent to the Mayo Clinic for further evaluation and clarification.
