[QUOTE="Re-Ride, post: 82528, member: 8395"] Thanks C.W., good to know. Makes me wonder why doctors at leading kidney clinics don't run this test, Stanford or UCSF for example. It's not available from Discounted labs and may oir may not be covered by Medicare. National Kidney foundation suggests that the cystatin c test may be a helpful dianostic for CKD for those who are overweight, muscular or elderly. [url]https://www.kidney.org/atoz/content/cystatinC[/url] The standard of kidney care today is wait for blood or protein in the urine then slam you with dye + CAT scan which of course diagnoses nothing so its on to highly toxic gadnolinium dye + MRI which they want to repeat regularly until you finally do develop kidney tumors. Ahh! Goal achieved! Another pt under the knife for surgical excision of the kidney they killed in the first place either with the diagnostics or with earlier regimens of nephrotoxic maintenance drugs. Better one should educate himself early on about the many environmental exposures that lead to nephrotoxicity and to understand the risks posed by OTC drugs as well as ANY big pharma drug prescribed for you.
