GFR dropped 5 more points and I don't know why.

My doctor nephrologist in PA was willing to order blood every 2 months, no issues. No urine or other tests ordered. Don’t think the dr will object to other tests if requested. I meet the dr every 3 months at stage 3b/4 . They say it’s stable but eGFR swings between 27 to 32 and back down in that range. Not sure if my diet is making any difference to improving eGFR ( diagnosed IGA nephropathy) God damn kidneys!!!

@badriv Continue on a renal diet that works for you. I am sure it will help you. Might not be as tasty as you like, may not be as varied as you like, but the results can be good. I kept to a renal diet for years before the doctors told me to follow one. In fact, they told me such a regimen wasn't necessary, but I argued that point.
@windyshores Drops and change in eGFR can be confusing. Different machines processing the sample, your hydration level at time of the sample, medication changes, even not feeling well due to allergies or illness, can affect the results, as can changes in the underlying cause of your kidney disease. It doesn't take much, I know!
