Have Your BUN/Creatine/eFGR Readings Gone Up?

hopenowandtomorrow profile image

Hi Dear MBC’ers: I’m on IBrance/Faslodex/Xgeva going on 25 months & I’ve noticed a concerning increase in my Kidney & Creatine labs - all now at the top of the normal range. My BUN/Creatine Ratio is well over range. I’m taking 100mg of IBrance.

Questions:

1. Is this common?

2. What solutions do you recommend?

I drink a lot of water - 90oz/day. I’m currently NED.

Should I request a lower dose of IBrance?

Thank you for any insight you can provide.

🙏❤️🙏

Hi Sandra: Thank you for your helpful & medical response! It’s validating to know it’s not the IBrance. I just started working out with weights again as I’ve noticed a decline in my muscle mass. I asked my oncologist about the curcumin I take (mostly for joint pain) he said it shouldn’t effect anything. However, I’m going to get off it and see what my labs are next month. Thank you so much!

🙏❤️🙏

Both replies are fascinating. Thank you Sandra. I have been getting constipated lately and now I know how much of the Ibrance waste is excreted I will make sure I sort this out with more greens.Clare

I haven’t had this problem, but as Sandra said it is best to get someone to look at all your meds and supplements as other things can cause the muscle breakdown. I know Statins can do this.Clare
