Hello,
I have never posted here before, but I have read lots and you are all very knowledgeable, so I am hoping someone can answer a question for me about the GFR test.
I was trying to be a live donor for a friend of mine, but in the final tests when the did the Nuclear Medicine GFR, I was told that my filter range was too low. The normal range for a adult they said was between 85-125. Mine was at 73, so I was ruled out.
My question is this... I got my test results back today and when I was looking over them, down where it says "TEST" then on the next line it says "EXAM" and it has all the information, it says "HISTORY" :48-year old woman, kidney donor.. The problem is, I am 38, not 48. Would this have changed my results and made them lower than they actually were??
This was the only thing keeping me from donating, should I try to get a second opinion on this test? I am pretty sure they wont do it because it is so expensive, but, you never know!
Thank you for any help at all...
