That's why i was concerned. GFR dropped 44 points in six months. So I went to the ER last night because i was freaking out, The doctor said that GFR can fluctuate a lot - which I'd never heard. Very relieved. It was 101 as of last night. She also said that the GFR wasn't the most pertinent number to track - creatine

Correction of my last post: creatine supplements might raise creatinine levels and thus LOWER the eGFR. Sorry to be sloppy!

Again a level of 50 is not dangerous.

It sounds like you have rebounded and have a very healthy eGFR.

Was the 101 after IV hydration?
