So on my very last test, my gfr went to 30 from 22. I went from stage 4 flirting with 5 back to 3. My creatinine tests strips are measuring now almost at the normal color (first color block on the test strips). I'm anxious for my next appointment and hopeful I'll have further improved. I'll be sure to post this. I realize my gain doesn't mean others will have the same result. I'm hoping however that I may of helped someone.

@billagreste It is always heartening to hear when people have bounced back from critical health situations. I recall my one nephrologist telling me that it is best to look at trends of values, not just a single value on a single test. An "odd" result may be caused by a different reporting lab, different machine, or something within the patent causing a result out of normal.
