Prior to June this year my eGFR was >60 then in June it was 42 which my GP said was an anomaly and repeated it. It came back >60 which he said was good. Then in August the diabetic nurse repeated it and it was 49. She repeated it again in a few weeks and it was 54. I have to go back at the end of the month. No one has mentioned kidney disease or stage 3 or anything. I wonder if someone could tell me what questions I should be asking. Should I be looking for a referral to the hospital or what? Feel a bit in the dark.
New to this. What do I ask my GP? - Early CKD Support

My eGFR was 60 when I was first diagnosed by my primary care doctor a year ago. It hasn't changed. I consulted a nephrologist, who hasn't recommended any changes or medications. However, I continue to see the nephrologist at regular intervals because I learn a little more about my condition at each visit. A renal nutritionist helped my plan healthful meals.
go to u tube n type " ginger treatment for kidney failure " ,do as it says u will get better in a month but continue till u recover , have patients , you can live with it
wish u good health
yes i did , i did it for more than one month, my fatigue has disappeared, y not try ? you must have patience , it works slowly , Application of gingeley oil is compulsory , you can touch the area and verify that oil has disappeared ,
I THINK oil n the essence of ginger pass through the skin to the area affected.
i will take a uss next month and tell you the test results
you are better than me , Dont worry u can live with it.
My creatiine level is 2.3 n the gfr is arround 30 .
This GFR alone cannot say u are heading for kidney failure, if u get protein in urine there is positive signs,
WISH U GOOD HEALTH

gfr varies seriously when small increases of creatinine is shown,also different formulars give different gfr values,you need not worry much , eat a green apple a day.
Also visit you tube n type " Ginger treatment for kidney failure "
you can do the treatment yourself, be patient continue the treat at least for two months.

i was told i hv ckd 3 , was in 2012 gfr 51 but now 28 , i do ginger treatment , taking apple cider vinegar, and many other pills.
Eat kidney friendly foods only .

creatinine is not in foods , it is formed during metabolism n accumilares in blood ,to be excreated by kidneys,when kidneys damaged it does not filter properly,so u will get more creatinine than normal amounts , i understand potasium rich foods are bad for kidney patients ,Banana contain lots of potasium , visit ' Davita " u will get more information about ckd and there of , type"GFR Calculator – Glomerular Filtration Rate- Davita " u will get GFR calculation formula .
wish u good luck

Your gfr will fluctuate with diet follow the davita diet. You will feel better. Take care Helen s
Hi Stormie just read your post and replies As Cpl Jones "don´t panic!!" 1. don´t panic some good sites on the net can recommend DaVita, Kidney.org and Wikipedia for knowledge. 2. look at your diet sure your GP went down this road probably handing you a 4 x a4page sheets of don´t eats (you need more info than this and its out there) 3. Start walking at first 1 mile then up it gradually a good target is 4 miles. Or if you can go to a gym.
summary diet and exercise
