L, DKS, CRP, and, of course, general physical condition.
Is the urea result clearly documented? Specifically, does it actually say 9? 5mmol/L. The data provided here is quite sparse—though, frankly, even with more detail, one couldn't make any definitive judgments without having the luxury of reviewing the patient's entire medical history.
It is necessary to check kidney function—creatinine clearance, for instance—but for the moment, nothing appears critical. We're looking at Stage I renal insufficiency.
Yes, the urea value is written clearly; it's 95. That’s precisely why I was so concerned—it seems incredibly high.🙄
Good evening.
I’m not entirely certain if this belongs in this specific thread—though, given these blood work results, I feel compelled to post them here:
My mother is scheduled to begin chemotherapy next week, and today she had her routine labs done for:urea and creatinine.
However, the numbers caught me completely off guard. Her urea is elevated at 95 mmol/l, while her creatinine sits at 110 umol/l. I find myself searching for guidance—is there anything immediate we should be doing, or is it best to simply wait until Tuesday to consult with her oncologist?
To provide some context—which I know is important—she underwent surgery two years ago to remove a stomach cancer, but unfortunately, malignant cells were recently detected in her ascites (abdominal fluid), which is why this upcoming
chemotherapy session was ordered. Since urea levels are so closely tied to kidney function, I can't help but wonder—could there be something happening with her kidneys right now?
Thank you all.
Deeply concerned,
