Paul thank you for your post. I will be seeing a nephrologist soon and will discuss any needed lab work. My family practice Doctor said she thought I would need to have a 24 hour urine test too but she would let the nephrologist take care of that. Sounds like you had a rough time with your kidney stones and it is great to hear you are now well past that problem.
