A key element in your discussion is the new use of Amoldipine. That is used to manage high blood pressure and its use may have contributed to improvement in your GFR. Otber factors might be varying blood glucose levels .

@miker8888 Funny you should mention amplodipine! I was switched to that in June, at 10mg once a day. When it took my BP lower than the dr liked, it was changed to 5mg once a day. Two weeks ago I went onto darmepoetin alpha shots, which will increase my red blood cells. A side effect can be a BP increase, which it did. So not I am back to 10mg once a day! My eGFR has remained fairly consistent at 16%. Prior to amlodipine, I was on benazepril for decades.
