hello,@ pamphilips1.
GFR lower than 60mL/min is an indication of kidney disease.
120mL/min is consider normal for a young person and it declines with age.
The speed of the reduction is interesting and your doctor is proactive on your behalf.
Supplements can greatly affect GFR rates, especially the B vitamins, vitamin D and minerals too.

Really? How does Vitamin B12 affect it? A lot? I’ve taken Vitamin D3 for many years and never saw a problem. Last eGFR was 96 and I have had type 1 diabetes for over 23 years. I’ve been on B12 treatment since May, so…..I’m concerned. Will get tests in November.

Hello

I wish these vitamins are causing the numbers to lower but I am not on
B vitamins or vitamin D.
