Furthermore, my gfr has now risen to 60 and my creatinine has dropped 20 pts to 130 in the last 3 months. I believe the protein experiment I ran on myself may have helped. I increased my protein from 100 grams daily to 150 . Go figure. it's the only change I made in the last 3-4 months. Johnmacc

Great news for you! My eGFR went up from 59 to 62 & potassium dropped a bit, as well as creatinine & sodium, so I'm a happy camper! I use a little whey protein once per day in my smoothie & have begun adding half a banana back into my diet per day. Other than that, I have no clue what has improved my numbers, but am happy with the results. ^_^

I am so glad your situation has improved and your “ program” is working for you. I am a month or so out from next blood work so don’t know if I’m still on right track or not but the challenge for me is to get enough protein in smaller “ hits” throughout the day. I’m eating mostly veggies/grains as protein as I read it’s easier on kidneys. . It takes a lot more of it though to get enough. Feel like all I do is think about food. Phooey on that. And my waistline isn’t shrinking either. Any suggestions?
