Good morning! I recently had labwork done and had some alarming results. My EGFR is 51. Creatinin is 1.25 and (Bun) is 26, I am a 55-year-old female who doesn't smoke, drink, and I exercise regularly. My EGFR was 69 a year and a half ago. I just redid labs this morning, but of course, I am anxious about the first results.

youre in the fifties still and thats good.once you do get the final results ask about a nephrologist if needed.

How was your blood pressure?

just breathe your numbers are good but can understand your anxiety glad you redid labs cause depend on the day they can change like if you are dehydrated can make a difference . Keep exercising watch your sodium . And welcome to the forum

creatinine can be falsely elevated by being dehydrated or intense exercise the day before. Certain medications like ACE inhibitors can cause a cosmetic rise. Certainly wait an see. GFR will drop with age also, though this seems a bit rapid. A doctor may ask if any kidney disease runs in the family. Also your blood pressure could still be elevated even if you exercise and are at a normal weight. Lots of factors to discuss.
