Are these results a sign that I am going to have problems later on in life (see details)
I had cancer of the kidney 10+ years ago and I had my right kidney completely removed. My remaining kidney is enlarged. It’s palpable and almost sticks out sometimes. My last few lab tests have all shown that I pass protein and blood cells into my urine and the “spec. gravity” is always high. I also have elevated BUN levels, but I’m not sure what any of this means. The doctors just don’t seem to care and I’m left to look things up online, which I can never get answers from. It’s very frustrating and while I don’t think I’m facing any major kidney problems now, I’m worried that I will somewhere down the line and it doesn’t help that my doctors don’t listen to me. I don’t have a nephrologist and I’ve requested one countless times. Can anyone explain what any of this means or could mean? Do I have a reason to worry or are these results normal?
