I have a question for any kidney patients….my function was above avg just over a year ago (never had any issues) and recent tests have shown the function has dropped to the 70’s and my vitamin d level is close to zero. They have prescribed the supplements needed but also warned me they could damage the kidneys so what do i do? They didnt mention any follow ups, it was quite literally a “your kidneys arent funtioning as well as they should, i will prescribe you vit d, cya later”!! Iv been getting quite bad kidney pain for a fair few weeks but shrugged it off and im only going for a wee once every 12+ hours, surely this isnt normal? Iv been getting severe cramps in my legs and feet too when i drive and at night literally relentless agony which im guessing is down to vit d?
What on earth could cause declining kidney function? Blood pressure always ok or on the low side, im good healthy weight, dont drink, dont smoke and a youngen 30’s. Hoping the function stays stable rather than decline further, getting a gp appointment is near impossible.
Im due major surgery in a few weeks for my health condition and wondered if kidneys would affect any of this as it is abdominal surgery.
Sorry if too much info and thanks very kindly for any help/advice!
