Thank you. I have stopped the Farxega for the next two weeks and will be tested again then. I had also upped my protein a lot when I started Forteo; maybe that contributed. I didn't know GFR could rise and fall so dramatically with CKD. I have adjusted to the slow decline, but 40 to 26 in four months is pretty scary.

In many cases, the reason for large variations in creatinine eGFR is due to hydration levels and/or medication. That is why you follow up with your PCP or nephrologist, and get a Cystatin C test for better eGFR consistency as that looks at your cells as compared to muscle mass.
