Frustratingly my blood test came back at 6pm on a Friday, because of course it did. And it also showed that my creatinine has gone back up to where it was when I was unwell with the infection. This might help me get some more tests at least but does suggest that my kidney function could be impaired.
I am not a doctor so I will try and not spend the weekend guessing everything that could be going on. I personally still think it could be linked to the underlying gut issue, not through dehydration as I am drinking well and not going that often but because papers that I will try and summarise (in another post) suggest that IBD / gut issues can link to kidney damage. Though the decline since Feb suggests it is something acute that has caused the decreased kidney function. It is also the decline, well increase in number but decrease in function, that suggests it is nothing to do with the carnivore diet. I say this because a high meat diet is known to increase creatinine levels.
Will update once I have spoken to the doctors. Hopefully my Op in June can still go ahead and hopefully we can get my a settled tummy and back to 100%.
