My son

Hi my son has learning disabilities and had two biopsies a fortnight ago one was endoscopy the other kidney biopsy he was under general anaesthetic because of his LD now I rung the gastric people they gave me results barrett's oseaphagus urology said they were meeting today and would ring after which they did BUT they can't tell me the kidney result now until he's had an echocardiogram they have kidney results but won't tell me I'm sick with worry surely the echocardiogram result won't change the kidney biopsy result... 

  • Hello and thank you for posting

    It sounds like you're all going through a very stressful time at the moment and waiting for results of tests and biopsies is hard.

    Although the echo won't change the biopsy result, it's possible it may have an impact on the next step forward and that's why they may be waiting for this result.

    I think you will just have to wait for the next few days - I can't see that you would need to wait much longer, unless they decide to have a MDT (Multidisciplinary meeting made up of different health professionals) which would not be unusual -  having a group discussion about each person's case.

    I do hope it wont be long now, and once you have all the information, please do ring if you would like to talk anything through with us - the number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    All the best
