I’m sorry about your numbers… I get the anxiety over that. How are all your other numbers. Seems GFR can be affected by so many outside things, that the other indicators need to be taken into account as well. Can I ask you and others how often your Dr is willing to order labs? I’m in my first year of diagnosis at Stage 3 and find I have to practically beg for tests more often than than once every 6 months. And no one orders urine tests unless I insist. Sure it’s due to insurance companies. I wish to track every 3 months in this first year or two to make sure I’m on the right track with changes I’ve made. I’ve recently discovered that if affordable to us, we can order our own testing directly from the labs who process them. No Dr order needed. They cost a little bit but may be worth it to track progress so can adjust our efforts if indicated. Just search labs online to see tests available…. there are many! Labcotp and Quest are two I’m aware of offering this service.
