There has been much talk about coffee, the last information, I believe, is that it is not dehydrating, maybe yes, maybe no.
My question is: are you on more of a dosage, or on a new medication.
My GFR dropped when I was on a new medication, and bounced back when I stopped using it. Kidneys do like to be overworked.
God luck.

Trust me, some diuretic medications may cause a rapid decrease in eGFR for some patients. I went from Stage 3A to stage 4 when a kidney NP prescribed Torsemide. I ended up at the Mayo Clinic ER with double vision, dizziness, and quite dehydrated. On a second occasion, I was prescribed Farxiga, and my eGFR again followed a downward trend. Diet and exercise along with a great team of a primary care physician, dietitian, nephrologist, acupuncturist, and others have helped me remain stable.

Hello,
Re coffee I have cut down from 2 cups to 1 cup a day. I was on a new antidepressant but I stopped it. I also had pneumonia when I had my blood work done. I have an appt. with my Nephrologist in a few weeks so I guess I will find out some things that day. Thank you for your comments, I appreciate it. : )
