@tibbylake I think the “red flags” comment first appeared regarding a member with a fairly low eGFR who was inquiring about working. Then it appeared again pertaining to a member who has only 1 kidney and was being reminded to remember to mention it to providers in regards to meds and treatments. I think some confusion can be avoided if we all use “@ mention” when making a response to a specific member. I did that here at the start of my response to you.
One eGFR test is not that meaningful. It is best to look at the trend over time. (Some people like to look at a Cystatin C test.) Your eGFR is better than mine! Do you have a nephrologist? Are you following a renal diet? Is there any other feedback that you are looking for?

@tibbylake eGFRbased on creatinine varies with things like hydration. Mine wanders over a range of about 8 52-59. There are other ways to measure eGFR but I don't know much about them. Others here probably do.
