Reason for GFR level to fluctuate from 20 to 57?

@aihtnyc & @jsdms welcome both of you to Mayo Clinic Connect. Regarding the GFR, these values can vary greatly for a number of reasons (hydration, other conditions & ailments, the particular lab that is used to perform the tests ….. ) One GFR level is not as important as considering the overall trend over time. If you have a need of tracking the GFR it is best to stay with one provider / lab and get the draw done when all other factors are as consistent as possible. If you don’t mind sharing, what are your reasons for following the GFR?

Hello my first labs were done in Jan this year. My GFR was at 39 then six months later my blood pressure wasn't being managed and I went to the ER from high blood pressure 245/115 and they blood test my GFR went down to 27.1 stage 4 kidney disease. Then I started seeing a new Doctor in just two days she ran blood test GFR went down again 25. I need answers this to me sounded crazy I don't see my nephrologists until next month I'm worried by then it'll go down more. My blood pressure is being more managed and I now walk and drink water daily do any think your GFR can go back to stage 3 after being at stage 4
