Blood test results 2 years post-op/ not so good...Help!

I did a blood test 2 weeks ago and then received an urgent message from my doctor's office to come in. I was told I had dangerous levels of urea in the blood and this could be related to my kidneys. It seems the low fat, low carb, high protein diet I have been on for two years has created an accumulation of ammonia in my blood due to the breakdown or lack thereof of high amounts of protein. I was also told am have low hemoglobin counts.
I am supposed to see the doctor again tomorrow. Can anyone tell me what I should do to fix this high urea in my blood?

I'm not sure talk to your doctor but keep us posted... I work at a dialysis center and I asked one of the nurses and they said they needed more info on your labs, but maybe b/c you have consumed to much protein and not enough water but it should be able to be fixed. Good Luck I know that sucks worrying about that.

I will be getting more info tomorrow.

Thanks for your reply!

I hope you get some good answers from your doctor tomorrow!

Thanks Gwen!

You need to drink more water, much more, every day.

Extra urea is a perfectly normal result of a high protein diet. Only extra water can get rid of it. It is one of the reasons we are told to drink so much.

It doesn't matter how much you have been drinking, even if it is the amount you were told to drink. You need more.

I haven't been good with water! you are completely right.

Good thing you had blood work recently! Goes to show that we all need bloodwork done on a regular basis to rule out problems like this.  Good luck to you tomorrow and feel better!

True!

Thanks

Drink drink drink more !!! Keep us posted please good luck!!!
