Unfortunately, I don't have an answer - such an explanation is above my pay grade - but hopefully by now you've been able to get a hold of your doctor and gotten an explanation.

Fingers crossed for you.

I think there are a lot of options on the table for you at this point, 24ets. The best part of this is they caught it early, which opens more options than if you hadn't followed up with your scan schedule. I would suggest you send a PM to medic1971. He has experience with lesions on both kidneys and can give you his perspective based on his experience.

Wishing you only the best!

Hi stub1969 thank you so much for the reply I just felt alone and needed to share what I’m going through and at the same time gain knowledge on how to navigate this disease.

Hi eug91 I will have my creatinine level check so I can have ct scan to check my remaining kidney.
