Should I see a nephrologist ?

[nh_user_379128]

Hello, My primary symptom is pain in my left side. I've had it off for two years, but this time it didn't go away after a couple of days. At the time mu doctor thought it was kidney stones - but the ultrasound didn't confirm it. At the same time I had blood in the urine and joint pain for the first time - later on it was ascribed to Ankylosing Spondilitis. I also have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and take hormones regularly. Anyway, right now my kidney function in on the lower side. My urine calcium and phosphates are low, while blood potassium is elevated. My hypothyroid hormone is way to high. I deficient in vitamin D ( took a supplement my doctor has prescribed). I will do kidney and parathyroid ultrasound as well as a cerebral IRM. However, my doctor told me to wait for and endocrinologist exam. - the one my gynecologist asked for due to the apparition of unwanted facial hair. In January I had a bad UTI for the first time in my life. My doctor missed it and treated me for candida (despite me insisting it wasn't it) and teh infection spread. I had to take several rounds of antibiotics to get rid of it. Shouldn't I also see a nephrologist ? Just to be safe? Thank you?
