Very high EGFR

[Point88]

Hi I am a patient with CML. My last few bloodworks my egfr has been going sky high . It was 154 last visit. My bun was 16 and creat was .59 and bun/creat was high at 28.3. I noticed it on the patient portal my oncologist didn’t say anything about it. Any ideas?

Normal BUN is 8-28

Normal creatine is 0.6-1.2

I was told the higher the GFR the better kidney function you have

I wish those were my numbers my Bun is 48

Creatine is 7.8

GFR. Is 8 meaning only 8% of my kidney works

If I were you I would just take the meds they give you so you don't end up in end stage kidney failure.

You want your eGFR to be as high as possible. For perspective, you start preparing for dialysis once you hit 15.
