Hi everyone, I have read these testimonials and feel more positive that I can improve on my 33% GFR. I have been on prolia injections every 6 months for quite a few years now. I have been so stressed and scared about all this. I got my last Proliaa injection on 2/7/19 and then I went for my annual checkup with my primary after blood work on 3/12 and my GFR had dropped from 43% to 34%. On a repeat blood draw on 3/19 my GFR showed a drop of another 1%. I truly am stressed. I have an appointment with a nephrologist on 3/29. Wish me luck.

@lucindasto, I want to welcome you to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am happy for you to have found some encouragement and support already by reading what others have shared. That is what Mayo Connect is all about -Patients sharing, asking questions, and supporting others who are like themselves.

I certainly send you my thoughts, hopes,and wishes for a satisfactory meet-up with your nephrologist next week. It sounds like this might be a new referral for you. So I have found some information that I would like to share with you as you prepare for your appointment. Here is a link to the Diagnosis and Treatment for Chronic Kidney Disease - where you will find the section - Preparing for your appointment. It suggests taking a family member or friend along if possible, because it can be hard to remember everything that the doctor will tell you. There is also a list of basic questions to ask your doctor.

Thank you for reaching out today.
I look forward to hearing how your appointment goes for you. Let me know if you have any questions.
