so i went to my doc's office yesterday and asked about the CT scan of my kidney. could not see my doc but the nurses assisted me.
they said it did indeed show renal thinning and they compared it to my CT scan from 2008. they told me that from '08 to '10 the "thinning showed no change." --wait a minute.... you mean to tell me a had kidney thinning two F---ing years ago and nobody told me this?!?!?!
the nurse looked at me confused. she said yeah explained to me it's nothing to be alarmed about that if there were any changes she would have been flagging me down to go see a specialist. she insisted that it's nothing to worry about. YOU DON'T THINK A SPECIALIST (aka a urologist / nephrologist) SHOULD SEE THESE CT SCANS AND TELL ME??
she said that the radiologist that gave the report was a specialist and would have said something if there was a concern.
somehow i'm not comfortable with any of this. 2008 is when i had back to back TO back kidney infections and they had to switch my antibiotics up. back then, all they told my was that i had some scarring of my kidney from the infections. i feel like theyve been keeping me in the dark about the actual details of my kidney. i don't trust them anymore. IT's 2 YEARS LATER NOW
uhh.... if you were me wouldn't you be pissed off too?! and a bit scared?

So you can't be too careful, but it's your Kidney, so do some research and find out for yourself just how big of a deal it is to have thinning kidney walls. Thank God for the internet!
