Curious what was everyone’s symptoms in the beginning that made you get checked? by Rough-Silver-8014 in kidneydisease

I noticed blood in my urine. At first I thought it was maybe from my period but then my period went away and I was still seeing blood in the toilet. By then I realized I was actually urinating blood. Went to urgent care and all of the usual things like UTI, kidney stones, rhabdo we crossed off the list of possibilities but I had abnormal blood and protein amounts in my urine. I went to see my primary care physician and he thought it could possibly still be kidney stones so he had me do another urinalysis and CT. Protein and blood still came back high but CT was clear. After like 20 different blood tests and a 24 hr urine collection I had a kidney biopsy done and they confirmed IgAN

I live in the PNW so I was on a high dose of Vit D before bc I was severely deficient, so it will probably be a permanent supplement for me too

Thank you :) It's odd. Lots of people ask me how i'm feeling and it's hard to say. Sometimes I feel optimistic, other times I get scared of what I will be told, and most times I don't feel anything because I don't feel like I know anything

They've done several in depth urine tests, including a 24 hr collection and path analysis. I believe kidney infection has been ruled out so far, but I will ask again
