Blood work indicated that my kidney levels are slightly elevated. I have made an appointment to see a nephrologist. I am on Aciphex for Gerd. In the past few days, I have had terrible indigestion, even though my diet is composed of fruits, vegetables, very little meat, and high fiber. Nothing spicy. I exercise 160 minutes a week. Can the kidney malfunction be irritating my Gerd?
