Thank you so much!! U have no idea how much that information helps. Would you know what would cause a increase in the eGFR number over a span of a two years? Can your kidney really get better?

Fitst, there are 2 basic types of kidney disease, acute or chronic. Acute kidney disease relates to an injury or something sudden that can cause this event. There is hope that kidney disease achieved in this fashion can be fully or partially restored. On the other hand, as it's name implies, chronic kidney disease cannot. However, in many cases, it can be maintained with diet, exercise, and better control of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular health. Even acupuncture may help. There are many studies that show a longer life span for the CKD patient even in Stages 3 or 4.
Lastly, if you have CKD from an unknown source after 2 years, your PCP should probably have uncovered that cause with all labs done over the last 2 years.
