@lizzylou69 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! It can be mighty confusing to get news of a lowered eGFR, isn't it?

Let's start at the basics. Do you know the cause of your lowered kidney function? Uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes are the two leading causes. Other possible causes are medication interaction, genetic concerns, or a cute kidney injury. Getting a handle on the underlying issue is important.

Kidney disease can be a tricky situation. Often our bodies slide into decreased kidney function, and we aren't really aware of anything wrong. You can do anything you feel like doing. What many people see is that after the issue is being addressed, they realize how tired they were getting, or unable to do things as well as before!

If you care to share, please tell me me more about your kidney disease issue?
