Check with doctor

Check with your GP and if any of your Kidney numbers are off by more than a little, ask for a referral to a Nephrologist. Keep in mind that by definition our Kidney function numbers may be less than our 2 kidney brothers and sisters. My swelling went doown after I lost 35 pounds 2 years ago. I am 14 years post neph.

Swelling
I'm 6 years out and only weigh 120 pounds, but around the 3rd year started noticing swelling of my feet and legs. Low and behold it was a kidney infection in my only kidney. You need to get that checked asap. I ended up getting Chronic Kidney Disease cause I waited too long due to being scared of a third cancer diagnoses. Now I'm having to have major bladder and kidney surgery due to multiple infections in both. Ended up being I have Diverticuli pockets hanging from my bladder trapping bacteria causi bladder infections that I couldn't catch til it had reached my kidney and I was very sick. Get it checked out asap, go to a urologist, then nephrologist.
