my egfr jumped

[tresa56]

A few months ago is was 48 ...My last test was 69. I am wondering if this is real ordue to the fact that I had a steroid injection...my thyroid is finally somewhat under control...has anyone had this happen or is it just a fluke test...I am hoping it stays like that of course.

Mine jumps up & down depending on viruses or what I have eaten or water intake. I am as high as 1.9 to 1.28 depending on all factors.

No stability for me….. I am almost two years post transplant. Fast food and high protein are in my highs and lots of arugula salads and 80 oz. of water are in my lows. Currently, if high they rescreen my blood if low I just go monthly for blood tests. See the doctor quarterly now.

I am 16 months post transplant and they started labs every 3 months at one year. I don’t like that as my Tacrolimus levels have not been the same for two months in a row(always adjusting) and my GFR is up and down also.

I don’t take any injections.

Mine does that too. 48,>60, back and forth. I don’t know why. Last time it was 48, I was better hydrated than when it was 60. Doesn’t make sense. I also have thyroid problems.

I understand steroids can indeed increase your eGFR according to this study: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/220....
