I was diagnosed stage 3 CKD about 7 years ago. I brought my blood kidney numbers into normal range with nutrition, and my GFR fluctuates. The bloodwork before last it was normal, the last one was back down.The other day, I mentioned this to my opthalmologist and he said it was unusual to have low GFR and normal range for all other markers.
Can anyone tell me possible causes, please?
Thank you!
I was diagnosed 8 years ago at 3A (59 eGFR). Last test a few months ago, I was at 3A (48 eGFR), so I losing about 1.5 eGFR per year, which is more than the usual loss, which is 1 per year. All other lab work is fine, no protein in urine. They have no idea was caused by CKD and don't really care because the "treatment" would be the same; eat healthy, try to do a plant based diet, exercise, lower stress, and sleep well. I have a LOT of stress, so that doesn't help any. Best of luck to you.
I have been as low as 41 eGFR once, but usually it is 48 and has stayed there for years.
My kidney diet includes meat, I couldn't bear to go plant based!
Good luck to you too.
My GFR is about 50 high 40s, and I have high creatinine. I have had these results for years. I am 66 and was wondering if it was always low from birth. I have no other issues. Pretty fit for my age. My Drs have never been too concerned, especially since I am getting older. I have always been tall and thin. Low BMI. I thought that might be the cause. I have the same question as you.
Advice on GFR please
