Did your regular Dr. do any blood work? Generally you can tell if someone may have kidney problems by checking labs. The 3 labs I am familiar with are creatinine, BUN and a GFR (Glomeruler Filtration Rate).

You sound like you have been feeling very bad. I hope they get you into the kidney Dr. soon.

Your electrolytes should also be checked and a CBC done (which will tell if you are anemic).

Best of luck to you.

I can advice you of good naturalist doctor who can help you with natural organic medication, but i can't post his address in here so i don't know, if you want him, my wife had similar problems and he was good to us and his medication are patented under his father's name.
