Hi Jill,

Believe it or not, some of us have NEVER done a 24 hour urine. For many

purposes, measuring the protein and creatinine in a single one shot specimen

and calculating the ratio between the two provides a reasonable measure of

proteinuria (my son does this every month).

Good luck with your neph visit! Let us know how it goes.

Most of the time I had IgAN, once or twice a year at the most, but then, I

never had heavy proteinuria.

Jill,

I have them once every year. I am one of the lucky people who have not seem

to progress in my illness. I was diagnosed 12 years ago. Good luck with

your appointment and be positive.

Hi Jill,

I only do a 24 hour about once a year. How did it go with the Neph?

I hope you got good news.

Jill I've done 5- 24hr collections in the past 6 months. I'm told it will

go down to a few a year for awhile and then yearly after that...but that

will only happen after my protein spill is kept way down or stopped. Also

they want to monitor it closely due to being on the prednisone.

Is proteinuria the main result gained from 24hr test then Pierre? I guess that

serum creatinine is the more important of the creatinine tests?

One of the blood tests sent for by Neph that my GP had no idea what the results

meant were for haemoglobin <sp?> any idea what this would tell?

Hi Dave. Well, proteinuria and also creatinine clearance. Both are equally

important to know. Hemoglobin (your spelling is Ok too) is to see if you are

anemic. It checks your red blood cell count. Another way of measuring it is

by hematocrit.

Thanks Pierre - sorry I must have been tired - I meant immuglobin (I think) I'm

sure my GP would have known otherwise? I know IgA is an immuglobin, any ideas

what they can tell from blood work around that?
