I decided to break this topic out on its own in order to get feedback. Right before injecting the contrast dye into me, the nurse was asking questions about allergies and whether I was in renal failure or not.
I decided to mention that my doc wanted to run more tests on my kidneys because my creatinine was high. The nurse stopped and asked when my labs were completed.
Labs were done on Dec 21, so she said they needed to take a look at the numbers. Doc faxed them over, and they decided I could not do contrast today.
Basically, since my kidneys are apparently having trouble filtering, the risk would be renal failure. The technician said he didn't know why my creatinine would be so high, and I just mumbled Lyme, even though I'm just guessing (after being on these boards 2 weeks now).
The radiologist said he should be okay reading the scans without the contrast. Anyone else have kidney issues? eGBR or creatinine?
Do you think my levels will normalize at some point with Lyme treatment?
