@nscappa this lab result could be an “outlier” or a “one off”. Your GFR can easily vary due to a number of circumstances such as a concurrent illness. Perhaps your pneumonia affected the GFR. It is important to focus on trends over a longer period of time. Maybe you can repeat your lab work after your pneumonia has resolved? Feel better soon!

Thank you so much for the information. You have made me feel a bit better and I never knew about the things that could affect my CKD. Thanks for making me feel better. : )
