@leslie2121 Your eGFR was essentially normal when you were told you had "stage 2" which at an older age is fine- anything over 60 is normal. So I am wondering why there was protein in your urine? Glad you are feeling better!

Yes, anything over 60 is considered “normal” but definitely below average for 65 year old. And the proteinuria not a good thing especially as it was increasing (172 to 195 over 2 years).
I don’t think anyone knows if this is connected to MGUS or just aging kidneys.
I believe there’s chronic inflammation in my body and the turmeric reduced it. 🙌
