Hi ladies

In a few weeks I have to go and repeat my kidney function blood test.  It's put me in a bit of an anxious state.  I have swelling on my feet but had that for years ( and always told it was beta blockers doing that and nothing to worry about.  All blood tests prior to the pandemic were normal.

I was really dehydrated on the day of my test and it was a hot day, there had been a lot of work stress and I hadn't eaten or drunk anything and it was 3pm.  Could that throw a test off? 

Anyone else had to have repeat kidney function tests?  I'm very anxious and can't speak to a gp.  Thanks for listening.

MayB ring the Dept where U will have the blood test and ask the question.  I think that dehydration may well cause lots of anomalies.

I spoke to a doctor and they said, while not knowing my test result, dehydration may well have affected the result.  Thanks CLKD for your response
