Kidney numbers dropped

Posted by redmax777 @redmax777, Sep 19 1:13pm

Hi, my kidney numbers dropped from 36 to 28 in about seven months
Any answers? Creatine 2.5 my primary care physician panicked, but the kidney doctor reviewed my tests and didn’t panic? See you in two weeks appointment

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Kidney & Bladder Support Group.

@susangail53 and @mrainne

I agree with both of you and appreciate that you are your own advocates and choosing to make the best decisions for yourselves. It's unfortunate that the medical profession sometimes get things wrong and those errors can have adverse effects on us. Keep advocating for yourselves. I pray that God will continue to give you guidance and peace in your decision making.

I have had polycystic kidney disease for many years. Diagnosed in 1998. My GFR is 28%, creatine 1.9. I was placed on Jynarque 5 months ago. At that time my GFR was 35%, creatine 1.6. I am concerned my numbers are worse than before. My nephrologist keeps saying I'm stable, but shouldn't I be seeing some improvement?? I have no symptoms of kidney disease other than these numbers . No swelling in ankles, no back pain, no UTI"s, no kidney stones. Any suggestions or recommendations?? Thank you!

I have blood work done every. 3-4 months for my nephrologist and primary care doctor. It is a full report on blood counts, cholesterol, kidney function and all tests related to the kidneys. Do you see a nephrologist?
