How does GFR move up and down so dramatically?

Hi,
I was diagnosed with CKD in 2019. My GFR was 63. I did research online and found a kidney dietician posted information about a diet based on food and PRAL, predictive renal acid load. Very straight forward. It's basically food groups and which are the easiest for you kidney's to process.
For 5 years I have continued to follow the principles of the diet (I also went vegetarian), exercised more and lost 50lb. My function has continued to improved. As of July 2024 my GFR had increased to 88. I am a 67 yo woman.

Is it possible to provide a link to the information provided by the kidney dietician. Thanks

It’s so wonderful that you were diagnosed before your GFR was lower than 60. Most MD do not even mention kidney function until GFR is under 60. Also kudos to you for following the best research on what eases kidney stress! So happy to read of your long success… great inspiration for others to follow in your footsteps!💕
