Dear Tricia,

Unfortunately, you know more than anyone here on the web, and your ordering doctor should know much more.

If you are coming off antibiotics for a urinary tract infection, the numbers might still be elevated.

If you have a low grade, long term chronic infection you might also have those numbers.

If you had just engaged in very strenuous exercise, like a marathon or a couple of rounds of kickboxing, this could be normal for you.

If you have some other systemic disease affecting your kidneys, including taking multiple drugs, that could affect your readings,

and if you have a family history of this, it could simply be a genetic variation.

Sorry I can’t be more help. Your doctor needs to interpret these readings for you.
