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.

This is so helpful. Thank you!!! I weigh 113 pounds and make myself drink 50 ounces of water every day plus 8 ounces of almond milk, so I suspect medication is the culprit. I will ask for the Cystatin C test when I get my bloodwork on the 18th.
