Hi guys,
I am a 46 year old mother of 3.
I was recently diagnosed with gallstones and I have had an underactive Thyroid for 24 years and am on Thyroxine. I went for a well woman check in June to be told my kidney function was on the low side. Had another blood test last week ....to be told my gfr had gone from 70 in Feb to 63 now!!
I am in total shock as I have had no symptoms the Dr doesn't seem unduly worried but I am beside myself. I am going back tmrw for another blood test to check my thyroid levels...Any advice?
Go one step at a time and have questions prepared. GFR can fluctuate, but question it.
Let me know what your thyroid tests. I have it, too.
We are wondering if the two are somehow connected..mine is autoimmune.
Know I am standing beside you!
Get back to me!

Yes the Dr is questioning my Thyroxine levels apparently an underactive Thyroid can cause kidney function to reduce. Im just so shocked because ive had no symptoms!
