If your Cystatin C eGFR goes above 60, you will no longer be considered having CKD. Great job!

I have been working hard and with the ever declining creatinine eGFR was so glad they did the Cystatin C.
Just hoping Reclast doesn't affect my kidneys.

@collegeprof Too bad I can't get the Cystatin C eGFR test done. They don't concern themselves too much with either value at this point, seeing that I am on daily dialysis. Each month my cancer center gives me my eGFR value within the battery of tests they get from me. I'm down to 13% now.
