Renal Function Test?

PumpkinTi · June 2015

Okay - so I have my annual physicals in June, and decided to keep the appointment since my OB won't see me until July anyways... PCP decided to run a TSH test b/c my thyroid was being "generous" (yep, that was his word...) and b/c of family history.. He did a complete blood count and cholesterol - but those seem normal enough. Here's my question - he also tossed on a renal function blood test - I'm young enough that I haven't been getting regular blood work w/ physicals - is the renal one typical for anyone, pregnant people, or should I ask about why he tossed it on? Thanks ladies, you all are awesome!

I have never heard of that---but you could always call back to your PCP and ask what the reasoning was for that test being tossed in.

No idea - I'd ask the doc.

Is there a family history of Kidney problems?
