Would wait and see if you get a PFL. the TB testing may not have been reviewed. Without knowing his kidney function it is hard to comment.

Saying the CIC physician may not have reviewed the test yet and that is why the M5 is still there. If not it has to do with the kidneys. Would order GCMS notes.
When should I order the next set as the first one I ordered was after the completion of six months timeline?

It would help a bit if you knew the T code attached to the M5. If it was the T code for "bumping a Canadian off of a waitlist," then we would know the M5 is most likely related to the CKD, and not the TB furtherance.

Ok I got it. Medicals were referred for review on 22 may 2020, so planning to order the next set by this month end. Hope they update something there. I think his TB test was negative so it's nothing related to it. Just concerned how they might have evaluated his kidney condition.

But in the GCMS notes the T code should be listed along with the M5. Do you see anything like M5 T9 or anything?

Did you get any clarification if M5 was for tb or ckd. My father is also stage 3 ckd with slightly elevate cretnine 1.4 all Other renal test normal. Do you mind telling what was your creatinine level ?
It's for CKD , TB was negative. His creatinine level was then approx 2.5
