An increase in GFR is always better than any decrease. Keep in mind that your average GFR is now 80. That's the number to fixate on. Since the number was so much higher than the previous one, your physician may ask to run them again in about a month. Don't go off your new lifestyle changes with this result. Stick to your meal plan, exercise regimen, and continue to monitor your medications and any underlying conditions. Don't get too excited about good GFR numbers and don't get too negative about any decrease in GFR. Track your numbers and what you are looking for is the average GFR over time.Continued success.

Thnks Mr.Kidney . Yes, i think its because of my diet and lifestyle. My BUN is very low , creatinine is low also ...my doctor said i’m doing great and scheduled my next appointment for lab test in the next 6 months ...
Six months? Is this a nephrologist? That seems like a long time between tests when the numbers are so far apart. Stick with your new routines and if any of your other physicians run labs ask them to run that again for you, if possible. I have three doctors who run labs and I've done this before on both blood and urine tests.Stay safe.

Fabulous news, Harry! Keep up the diligence and great work!
So happy for you!

Well done! What did you change in diet and lifestyle?
What changes did you make? What does your diet consist of? Congratulations!
That is great news. Stay with the routine that got you to this point!,
I'm diet-controlled T2 diabetic, and would love to know what carbs don't affect your bs too much? Any little thing (no simple carbs) sends my blood sugar up. Also, do you eat chicken/fish/eggs daily? How many ounces? I eat mostly broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower, and would love to mix it up a little! LOL I can't seem to get more than 900 calories/day. Sorry for so many questions, but I'm really struggling with diet! Congrats on sticking with your new lifestyle and having great results!
I'm also a type 2 diabetic. My A1c's are always good and for the last 4 years (almost) I've known I have CKD. Pasta is doable if you have an exercise regimen that helps you burn off the excess. If you are unable to do this then ration the frequency and portion of the pasta. Be careful of overdoing some vegetables. Cauliflower is good but eating too much can cause a buildup of uric acid, and that isn't good. Broccoli is high in potassium and you have to be careful there as well. Raw broccoli is okay in smaller portions. The RD and I developed a kidney-friendly meal plan and I have about a 3 oz. portion of poultry or fish several times a week. If you're looking to add vegetables to the mix look at white mushrooms, carrots, onions, lettuce and green beans.You can use ramen noodles in a stir fry, just add your own seasonings and not the packet that comes with the the ramen. It usually has too much of several things, especially sodium.
Have a chicken stir fry one day and a seafood one another day.
You can find a lot of recipes on davita.com and they have recipes for CKD and diabetic patients not on dialysis. You still have to adjust them if you have issues with sodium, potassium, etc.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful reply. I do exercise 45min every day, but pasta is still a non-starter for me. I had no idea I had to monitor my cauliflower and broccoli - thanks for the heads up! I'm newly diagnosed, and still figuring things out! So much to learn!
Wow!! What did you drastically change? This is Great!!😀
