2017年8月19日 · GFR in the 40s would bounce up to 60s and back in a couple days time. Blood Glucose all over the place, running from 50 to 400. All measurement tests of every organ were off minimally, usually around 10% or less, but always showing larger than normal size. This started during high school.

2023年6月1日 · Hello! I've been reading many posts saying GFR has improved pretty dramatically. I was told kidneys do not repair themselves or get better. I have a good diet (for almost 10 years), being healthy, and exercising. My weight is 133 lbs. Other bloodwork is normal, sodium, potassium, CO2, cholesterol...all normal. But my GFR continues to go down.

2020年9月23日 · June 2020 GFR 48. Was not given any thing other than water daily excersise and reduce alcohol. After research on ckd it looks very serious. Called doc back few days after appt for more info. Came with plant based low protein diet. Ordered some cookbooks and cobbled together what I called kidney diet. Follow up blood work now showed GFR 60!!!

2020年5月30日 · I would be concerned with a eGFR of 39 and would seek follow-up or a full kidney test. >90 is normal, or >60 on many lab references, and <15 is in dialysis territory, so it would be nice to know for sure if things are trending in the wrong direction.

2024年12月28日 · GFR gets lower with age, even if you don't have kidney disease. But no matter how old you are, a GFR below 60 for three months or more means you have kidney disease." So it looks like your doctor is monitoring you to see whether the lower value of 52 is a one-time reading or if this is a new trend that may indicate kidney disease.

2024年9月25日 · GFR lower than 60mL/min is an indication of kidney disease. 120mL/min is consider normal for a young person and it declines with age. The speed of the reduction is interesting and your doctor is proactive on your behalf. Supplements can greatly affect GFR rates, especially the B vitamins, vitamin D and minerals too.

2019年10月21日 · Hello @azkidney57.I'd like to invite @sheeb and @wolfer1975 who talked about GFR rates previously on Connect. I'd like to also invite back @harleymama, @harleymama, @granny50846 and @nnimblett to share their experience after nephrectomy surgery.

2024年9月14日 · Even so called kidney friendly medication can drop my GFR significantly. A combination of what you do and what you eat before blood tests affects your GFR. I try to do and eat the same things before testing and also try to be tested at the same time of day to keep some consistantcy to the results and I still fluctuate a little.

2022年9月5日 · My GFR went low , but the matching creatnine didn't change. I ended up going to a kidney doctor and they say I am pretty much fine--but they felt that the main issue was not the NSAIDs I take, but that I am dehydrated. I am supposed to drink a lot more water.

2017年10月30日 · Stage 1 GFR 90 or above = Normal or near-normal kidney function Stage 2 GFR 60 to 89 = Mild loss of kidney function Stage 3a GFR 45 to 59 = Mild to moderate loss of kidney function Stage 3b GFR 30 to 44 = Moderate to severe loss of kidney function Stage 4 GFR 15 to 29 = Severe loss of kidney function Stage 5 GFR Less than 15 = Kidney failure
