2016年2月17日 · I am a 53 year old male and in fairly decent health. I follow a renal diet and have quit smoking 3 months ago. My nephrologist told me that he will see me in three months and if my GFR is 20 or lower he will make arrangements to have a fistula put in my arm for dialysis. Is it even possible to reverse my GFR and go back to Stage 3?

2023年1月16日 · Reporting and interpreting GFR values: Clinical laboratories should report eGFR either as a whole number if it is 90 ml/min/1.73 m 2 or less, or as 'greater than 90 ml/min/1.73 m 2 '. If eGFR is greater than 90 ml/min/1.73 m 2, use an increase in serum creatinine concentration of more than 20% to infer significant reduction in kidney function.

Retrograde pyelogram: may be indicated if there is clinical suspicion of obstruction despite a negative ultrasound study finding. Renal radionuclide scan:

2022年4月28日 · Mild: GFR 20-50 ml/minute; serum creatinine approximately 150-300 µmol/L. Moderate: GFR 10-20 ml/minute; serum creatinine approximately 300-700 µmol/L. Severe: GFR less than 10 ml/minute; serum creatinine >700 µmol/L. Patients with a GFR above 50 ml/minute do not usually require any dosage adjustment.

2017年7月3日 · That does sound unusual. GFR can fluctuate so you take those numbers with a grain of salt, but a fluctuation of 83 to 45 does not sound like something that could be explained away by standard deviation. Have you been referred to a nephrologist yet? If not, that should be your next step. You should get diagnosed. I hope that helps.

2017年6月16日 · It was >90 in Feb 2016. The next test in Oct 2016 was 88. Then this year in Jan it was 75, then a little up in March at 77. Now, in June, it's down to 68. Creatinine has risen from 57 in Feb 16, to 81 now in June. With a GFR drop of 9 in just 10 weeks, I am worried that my next test will go below 60. The total drop is 22 in 18 months.

I'm 19 years old and my GFR is 82. The test said anything above 50 is considered normal, but I looked it up and thats not what im seeing on other websites. It seems that for those between the ages of 20-29 your GFR is ideally 116ish, and GFRs of 80 should not be reached till your in your 60's. is mine so low for my age?
