My last kidney blood tests were creatinine 149 and eGFR 44 which were an improvement over the tests of two months before, which were creatinine 159 and eGFR 40. So for now I will continue taking lithium and will continue being monitored by my family doctor while we wait for my psychiatrist to get well. When he does I will probably switch to a different mood stabilizer and also continue to take olanzapine. But I also have a second appointment in December with a kidney specialist and if my psychiatrist is not well by then I might have to look for a new psychiatrist. -- David Dalton dalton@nfld.com http://www.nfld.com/~dalton (home page) http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/nf.html Newfoundland&Labrador Travel & Music http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html Salmon on the Thorns (mystic page) "Here I go again...back into the flame" (Sarah McLachlan)

No expert here. But make sure your nephrologist gets these numbers, in case he/she feels your appointment should be moved up. Thanks for the update.
