Has anyone had their GFR drop 20 points in less than year?

In January 2024 my GFR went from 53 to 43. It dropped another 11 points between May and August. My Albumin/ Creatine Ratio is 1500. My nephrologist seems totally unconcerned. I am scared. I also have MGUS. Does anyone have these kind of numbers? What did your Doctor say?

My eGFR went from low 50’s to 8, in a 6 month period. Now, with renal diet and tons of water, it is up to 16. My nephrologist monitors me quarterly. Ginger is right that
you deserve an answer!

I was taken off all OTC meds and my diet was very low potassium and low phosphate with 3 liters of water a day. The Internet has several places with lists of high and low potassium foods which helped me. Absolutely nothing from a deli!

Finally I got an appointment with Dr Grajales Cruz on May 5. I hope to find a treatment that helps me to control the amyloidosis .

Amu45sin here. You deserve more than an answer.
I would be extremely worried with an eGFR of 16.
Are you on dialysis?
