Kidneys, what could it be ?

[spudnik1]

I am in my 30s and have high blood pressure.

I have recently changed Dr's. When diagnosed with HBP, my previous Dr simply gave me drugs ( I am slim, exercise, don't drink, have never smoked)

My new Dr ordered a kidney ultrasound.

I phoned up today to get my results fully expecting everything is fine ! Only to be told, I have a face to face appointment on Monday with the Dr to discuss results !

I am now panicking. What could they possibly tell me ? Has anyone been through this?

It's a long wait until Monday.....

i too am slim and generally healthy. My blood pressure has also been very high lately and now I have been diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease. It has not affected my life except for taking extra tablets. I have been taking Naproxen for arthritis for years and assume this is the cause.

i checked the NHS website and their are 5 stages. Until you know where you are in the progress of the disease, it can be quite worrying waiting. NHS website does give some ideas for diet changes.

I hope you get a good outcome. It may be worth phoning the surgery to find out more. I have the NHS app, which stated quite clearly it was stage 3.

Thank you for replying

Just had an ultrasound today although it’s pretty sure that it was the water tablets I started taking that made things a bit wonky. Hope all is ok!
