Any Docs (kidney stuff) can comment on results?

[Hugo Stiglitz]

OK I had bloods done recently at the GP and they said nothing to worry about all in range....but I also had a look at the results in detail online through the patient login..


Serum creatinine (umo/l):
2010 70
2014 83
2016 93
2021 111

Serum alkaline phosphatase (u/l):
2010 59
2016 56
2021 85

Admittedly I had a few to drink the night before the bloods were taken and I only started drinking water whilst sat in the surgery waiting room. I also cycle quite a bit getting into the max heart rate zone but I've done this for years.

I see a trend though. Should I be worried. Should I request a retest when I'm hydrated?

186cm tall, 49 & 105kg.

Got this:

106 mL/min
Creatinine clearance, original Cockcroft-Gault
72 mL/min
Creatinine clearance modified for overweight patient, using adjusted body weight of 72 kg (158 lbs).
50.3–72.5 mL/min
Note: This range uses IBW and adjusted body weight. Controversy exists over which form of weight to use

I've no idea how to interpretate that

Surely if you want proper readings you need to go in again without the alcohol in your system?

I said this to the GP and she wasn't concerned. Said its fine.

I'd like ammo to go back and ask for a retry.

I have none of the symptoms but after a long bike ride (mountain or road) I'll reward myself with a good quantity of alcohol.

Plus during lockdown I've noticed my trouser waist size had increased. In part due to breaking my arm in December and whilst sat up at home for four weeks I drank abit.

Alcohol needs a bit of a readjustment.

Yes common sense.

Im cutting down on beer. Beer always seems to disagree with me. I also need to lose the covid belly. My best weight is 16.5stone but over the past year it seems to have converted to fat.

Thanks for the replies. I'm having more bloods next week and a poo sample.

Any tips? I don't know if I can poo on demand. Poo in the morning, tupperwear and bring it in?

Oh, and while we're at it it's gamma GGT that increases with Alcohol consumption, not Alk Phos.

Seriously OP, if you have questions, please ask.

That's currently 31 iu\L apperently

I initially went to the docs as I'm continuously bloated, it feels like trapped window that isn't released.
