Message 1403

Yesterday after the usual Friday PBS shows, I read some more on my Kindle. I am getting near the end now and it will soon be time to download another. I feel good today., but I am concerned that my doctor says I need to consult with a nephrologistas indicated in the message below.

Dear Mr. Basler,
Your Blood count shows that the anemia is stable.
Your Basic Metabolic Panel (electrolytes, kidney test, glucose) shows decreased renal function, but not as severe as when you were hospitalized previously. I think a consult with a nephrologist would be good to make sure we have optimized your care. Please call for an appointment:
Nephrology Department

If you have any questions, please email or call my office 650-853-2984.
Sincerely,
Sherry Huang, M.D.
