Hi
I started Dapaglifozin two weeks ago. Tomorrow I will attend blood check to see if it's had any impact and also this week I am booked for a CT scan to again see if anyone can work out a cause for the decline.
So far I've not noticed any side effects from Dapaglifozin. I know it's early days.
With regards to trauma I am wondering if a car accident I had around age 9 would have traumatised my kidneys. It was a bad accident and I was hit from the side and went over the car. I've never given this a thought.
@b2byrne @collegeprof has offered some great information. I agree, finding the root cause of lowered function is important for everyone! The two top causes are uncontrolled/untreated diabetes or high blood pressure. Also on the list can be lifestyle choices, long term medication side effects, infections, inflammation, other health conditions, and kidney injury of some sort.
Have you had the chance to look into any new medications you are on, and side effects. Making a list might be a good place to start, and using drugs.com as a source, or Mayo Clinic will give you comprehensive information.
I look forward to hearing more from you, what you find out!
