Hello to you all for starters..

I am on a few threads as I have several issues but not sure where i should be! I have sarcoidosis.. B12 and other vitamin deficiencies and my last couple of blood tests have shown some other slight abnormalities

But as you are expert Kidney people i thought i would run this by you, and any advice would be invaluable

EFGR 52... Range 60-300

Creatinine 98... Range 45-84

Platelet count 417... Range 150-400

I have just turned 50..

Thanks in advange for reading

Hi 49,

Not sure what your inquiry is about. If you are wondering if you have kidney disease, you should ask your doctor. Your lab readings are an indication of where you are at the moment. In order to diagnose CKD, you need consecutive labs which will indicate if the GFR is fluctuating or that is where you are and what the other levels are doing. With the readings you have, you are at Stage 3a. davita.com/education/kidney...

Thank you for your reply. My GFR has gone down from 56 in end of January to 52 at the beginning of the week, and creatinine has gone up very slightly. I have not discussed this with my Gp yet as i needed to be armed with some good advice as they are not on the ball with things and i am doing some research as only just looking into it. I appreciate you reading my post .. Thank you
