Thank you for bringing your concerns to dLife,
Your nephrologist could be right that the glucose tolerence testing is biased against a person with one kidney but is that a reason not to see someone to investigate this further? For what ever reason, your glucose levels did not meet the normal levels. During your pregnancy, you need to be as healthy as possible with normal glucose levels whether you have one or two kidneys. I am sure you do not want you or your child to have any complications of high glucose levels.
I suggest you see the recommended specialists, try to get these providers to communicate with each other and come up with a plan of care for your pregnancy. Your Ob-Gyn should be the doctor that gets all these reports from these specialists and coordinates your care.
Your next step is to ask your Ob-Gyn what is best for you.
