Yes, totally. It is probably because you had fluid retention everywhere and when they drew it off, it helped the kidneys. Be glad.

The higher your GFR, the betrer. Aim for 60+ . My GFR has gone up a couple of times duri g hospital stays. My guess is that the i travenois fluids keep me qell hydrated and my feet up allow the retained fluid to leave. If you can keep it uo, that is good news!
