My Estimated GFR - eGFR

Some of you may recall when I was on diuretics (Furosemide) last year in an attempt to reduce the lymphatic fluid discharge from the macerated wounds on my foot (a result of "that we must not mention" Toe) my eGFR plummeted from 69% to 35% (distinctly worrying). A few months after they were stopped it had recovered to over 50%. I asked for a further blood test a couple of months ago but was turned down. However two weeks ago (WBW) the Foot Clinic Consultant arranged for them whilst I was at the hospital/ I am happy to report my eGFR came back today as 70%. :)
