How can I stabilize or improve my eGFR?

My eGFR is 64. I have been trying to lose weight eating more protein. I also take magnesium every night and potassium after sweating a lot because I tend to get cramps. I am 66 yrs old. I exercise 3 - 4 times a week. I may have to eat less protein, sodium and perhaps stop the magnesium. I hope I can get the numbers to get lower.

@dainalopez58 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! I applaud your efforts to take control and lose weight. Most medical professionals will tell you to move more and eat healthy, minimize your stress. The numbers you refer to, must be your weight, correct? Finding an exercise program that fits your lifestyle, and that you enjoy, will probably lead you to greater success in losing weight.

With an eGFR of 64, you are in Stage 2 of kidney function. But as I always have believed, it's never too early to be mindful and watching your numbers! What exercise do you do now?
