Hi Lisa,

Are you on any medications right now?

Hopefully the retest came back normal. I would get the urine test done as well to look for protein, since it is a quick office test. I consulted with a nephrologist who recommended doing a urine test every 6 months while on Cyclosporine.

Do you have any other symptoms? Extreme fatigue? Swelling? Itching? Here's a website that lists some of the other symptoms of kidney failure:

If you don't have other symptoms, try not to panic until Monday! Hopefully it was just a lab anomaly.
