Is CKD, Suggestive With Thin Kidney Wall Lining?

Hi. I am a 31 year old female who just had a kidney ultrasound done this past Tuesday morning. A nurse from my family doctors office called me yesterday and said that the wall lining of both of my kidneys are very thin. I had blood test done less than a week ago and they said that my kidneys are functioning properly. I have to go see a specialist in a couple weeks. This is driving me crazy and I have been crying ever since they told me this. Could you please tell me...is it possible that I couldve just been born with thin walls and its nothing or does this mean that I definately will have CKD?

Hi,

Thin wall of kidney can be seen in chronic inflammation condition or chronic nephropathy. If kidney functioning normally then don't worry dear. I suggest following investigations to assess your kidney injury...
_serum urea, creatinine estimation
_eGFR estimation
_serum potassium estimation
_serum bicarbonate assay
_serum fasting blood sugar
_your blood pressure measurement.

You can provide me reports to guide you further.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
