Doctor is concerned about Kidney GFR numbers: Should I be?

Yes, one measures the other, but as you see from your eGFR it changes from test to test. Creatinine and BUN are what they care about, with me anyway. Yours are both a bit high.
I drink 6 liters minimum of water daily, (about 114ounces) and did that even before my transplant, although it is really hard to get down. Your urine is excellent. (Did you ever imagine having a conversation like this lol)

My creatinine in Nov. 2017 was 1.34. Oct. 2024 it is 2.39. An increase of 1.05 in 7 years has me looking at dialysis or a transplant, in a few years, maybe sooner. Do you mind sharing your creatinine level before your kidney transplant? I know everyone is different. I do not feel symptoms. I can walk 2+ miles/day and am awake and feel normal. Everyone is unique as when symptoms begin.
