Diagnosis CKD

[Arthur15]

Hi everyone. Would love input. My gfr dropped suddenly over two months. It is 59. Two months earlier it was 84. Creatine up only 1 point and otherwise kidneys normal. I have been moderately dehydrated for the last few months due to a pesky virus followed by bacterial infection. I am very confused. Doctor said she doesn't have any suggestions to help and recheck at my next physical in one year. Diagnosed as 3b or 4.

Often after such an illness that may not be “severe” but is instead around for a significant time, (longer then a typical 48-72 hour virus or bacterial infection) the effects are temporary but sometimes can hang around a while. Your post contains very little specific information regards your virus but often a virus can cause temporary eGFR decreases that are not permanent (or the total effect isn’t permanent (meaning you might still suffer a decrease in eGFR but not severe and not 84-59 but maybe still 84 -72 etc.). My guess is that the viral infection (if lasting longer than a week as you indicate) is most likely the cause of the eGFR temporary drop and in all likelihood will improve or regulate to near normal. Clear your infections, allow a couple weeks recovery time for your body to normalize and my bet is the infection has caused a temporary drop in most of your “normal”body fluid levels including your kidney function. My bet is when the infection clears and you give your body a couple weeks to normalize all will be back to normal or close. Certainly your dehydration could be the cause of all issues. I’d give yourself time to recover, your body a couple of weeks to normalize and my bet is all will be back close to normal.

Just so you know the post above claiming to have a cure is a violation of this forum and I have reported you. There is no cure for CKD

I have also reported it!

It is so wrong to post this on our site. I reported you.

One data point doesn't tell you very much go redo blood work in 3 months and watch your pork and red meat prior to the blood work. Once you get your creatinine down your egfr will go up

I’m surprised the dr said to repeat in one year. Diagnosis of CKD usually requires repeated tests to make sure it’s not an acute drop.

Like Black night said, wait a couple of weeks for your body to recover. Meanwhile, drink lots of WATER to flush the bacteria out and help the kidneys. In three months ask for a repeat lab.

I would expect a follow-up blood test a month later, not a year!
