How does GFR move up and down so dramatically?

Hi Ginger,
Here are my past results. My Nephrologist says these are just numbers, all depends on how I feel.
12/6/2016 - 46 9/8/21 - 36 Creatinine, steadily worse: 12/16/2016 - 1.2
7/31/2017 - 42 4/7/22 - 29 4/12/2023 - 1.9
8/20/2019 - 36 10/10/22 - 33
9/16/20 - 38 4/12/23 - 26
3/2/2020 - 35
9/21/2020 - 36
3/22/21 - 34
Rather than look at blood specimen results, I'm hoping for ways to reverse or improve, or at least stay stable. My Nephrologist says to drink more water. Honestly, I feel waterlogged quite often.
Appreciate your concern and opinion, Ginger!
Marianne

@mrainne Marianne it looks like your eGFR is about 26 right now. Is that correct? If you have concurrent health issues, that can affect your kidney function. Diabetes and high blood pressure are the main culprits for CKD, but medication reactions or genetic factors can also play into it.
Making sure your diet is as free of processed meats as possible is good, as is quality protein, fresh fruit, low potassium/sodium/calcium/phosphorous foods. Diet plays a major factor in CKD.
