Thank you for your reply, it's good to hear others share a similar experience. I have read that too, that there can be a fluctuation of up to 10 points on creatinine level. I am hoping that is the case for me. As I recall, the day I had my blood work done, I had a hard work out at the gym, then biked to my appointment, I probably didn't have enough water to drink either because I remember being thirsty. When I do go for my next set of bloodwork, I'll be more mindful and not exercise before I go and drink plenty of water for a truer reading. I'll see if it make a difference. Otherwise, I'm continuing to do everything I can to reverse. Thank you again and good luck to you.

Kidney damage is not reversable, your kidneys are damaged and will remain damaged. The goal is to not damage anymore of the remaining functioning portions of your kidneys. This can be done thru proper kidney friendly diets, staying hydrated, watching the drugs you take to make sure they do not have a risk of kidney side effects and not just the NSAIDs, this includes supplements and other Rx drugs, proper exercise, proper rest, etc. Lifestyle changes are the name of the early phase treatments. I wish you well on your journey.
