My next test (three months later) showed NO protein in my urine and my kidney function was perfect. It has been perfect since. I have to say, I didn't start drinking cranberry juice for my kidneys, I just liked it. I read later how it can have a significant impact on your cholesterol and your kidneys. I drink about 1/2 gallon of the stuff every week. I found it cheapest at Winco if you have one in your neighborhood.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes for you. It was pretty much a miracle for me.

Thanks for the tip. I'll get some cranberry juice right now! I'll let you know in a couple of months how it goes.

Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it. What was your creatinine level before? and have you found out how it is now? what is a bmg? I hope you don't mind me asking. let me know how your testing went. Thanks again!
