My friend told me she has an eGFR of 17 from Lithium. I assume her doc told her Lithium was the culprit.

How does she feel, does she have adverse symptoms? I mentioned in another post my cousin has lived with eGFR 20 for over 10 years. Her kidney disorder is due to taking ibuprofen every day for years. Many medications can damage the kidneys over time. Honestly, lithium gave me a normal, happy life for many years. I'm 65 now and would not do anything differently. It's a risk that was worth it to me.
