Everything you wanted to know about my urinary tract but were afraid to ask...

Had a scheduled visit with the Immunologist yesterday. My Creatinine is at normal level!! Yeehah!!! Go kidney's go!!!

He also told me that the prostate-related issues that have been dogging me are probably due to scarring left from the catheter that I had when I was in hospital. It was in for 5 weeks so I guess its no surprise that there's scarring of some sort. He told me there is a procedure that would remove scar tissue but it would likey come back anyway. It is a procedure using a small tool that is threaded through the urethra and scrapes away the scarring.

I deliberated for about 1/100th of a second before deciding I didn't want any surgery :-)

Apart from that, my blood pressure is up a bit as is my ANCA (from 8 to 12). The ANCA is nothing to worry about but he has changed my blood pressure medication to something that includes a diuretic (along with the diuretic that I'm alredy taking!).

That's it for now! Stay groovy!
