MGUS: Should I be concerned that my eGFR dropped from 77 to 57

I am entering the MguS or Light Chain Myeloma or whatever diagnosis month right around the corner. For the past nine years I have had labs every three months due to impacts of ANCA Vasculitis on my Kidneys
Several times, I'd say four or five the fluctuations put me similar to where you are saying. I had been dehydrated and overtaxed-this most recent low result and not gotten enough rest; and during that time I had a 20 point drop in eGFR, down to 49%. Two days later it had recovered fully and remained so.
Should the low readings go lower or remain to accumulate as a trend over three to five months time, at that time, then I would presume further testing and/or prescribing may be requested. In fact, the indicator for out of range cuts off at 60% estimated Glomeruli Filtration rate.

First, it's an estimate.
Second my own has been down to stage 2 kidney disease but came back to normal with only 250 mils of extra water per day.
Third, my sister was treated got spongy medullary disease.at age 80. She died last year well past 102.
Do the best you can win what has been dished up to you and try to focus on every good thing you see so you become/ stay positive.

Thank you! It’s good to hear from others with a similar experience. I am supposed to have the eGFR retested in a few weeks, so hopefully it goes back up like yours did!
