@joefriday49 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. As you have read, our eGFR is a fragile number, influenced by several factors.
Be gentle on your kidneys! Hydrate well, keep a sound renal diet, follow guidelines as needed for additional health concerns, exercise moderately, keep stress to a minimum [hard to do!]. Remind any provider about opting for a contrast-less procedure whenever possible, to ease stress on your kidneys. Are you being followed by a nephrologist at this time?

Hey Ginger,
Good to type at you...
And I do currently have a nephrologist, but I will probably need to change in the next few months... I am moving all my doctors to the VA and this fellow doesn't have patient portals or any electronic communication of any sort and that will probably disqualify him from serving under VA Community Care.
