any tips?
My urine test showed:
Protein: +
Blood: Present
RBCs: 4-6/HPF
Pathological casts: Present
Pus cells: 2-4/HPF
No bacteria
Blood tests:
Creatinine: 1.2 mg/dL (normal)
Urea: 64.4 mg/dL (slightly high)
eGFR wasn’t reported.
Blood pressure is normal.
How concerning is this combination? Could it be a transient finding or is kidney disease more likely? What would be the appropriate next tests before seeing a nephrologist?
