I am told that I have protein in my blood and high levels of creatine in my blood. My dr. spoke of folding proteins and how they accumulate in other organs. I have a CT of my kidneys schedule and waiting for a hematologist appt. What can you tell me about this. Dr. also spoke of possible biopsies of both kidneys and bone marrow. Can you provide and information?
