My blood test results my GFR went from 26-30 was really excited but my protein random went from 46 to 140 Ratio .8 to 1.3. Creat 2.0 to 1.75

What’s best lowering GFR or Protein and how to lower protein. Not eating a lot of protein and eating more plant based.

Sorry I can't give you any medical advice on that, but I do know that for me, a plant based diet (absolutely no red meat and on occasion some grilled fish), no caffeine, reducing stress-causing factors (meditation) and drinking lots of water helped me slow the progression of my kidney disease. You may want to retake your labs after starting a healthier way of life. Wishing you the best to come!

Thanks. I have been doing more plant based stuff and have drank lots of water for years trying to ward this off. I have my nephrology appt. Friday to discuss my results. It’s just confusing that everything else has improved and now the protein is leaking a lot more.
