How could eGFR numbers go up if you have chronic kidney disease?

Just want to add that stage 3, or at least stage 3a that is stable, is not that far from normal. I have been in stage 3a and never saw a nephrologist. I had a quick dip into 3b and did see a nephrologist, but am still not terribly concerned, though it is relevant to medication choices.

I've never had kidney problems. Recently, I had a random blood test in August as part of a check up. And 3 weeks later had to have another as my husband got pneumonia and they wanted to check me. In those 3 weeks between tests my gfr went from 77 in Aug to 56 in early Sept! I dont have diabetes nor high blood pressure. I'm not ill although I had pneumonia a year ago with sepsis but healed. I've been on nexium for a year as the pneumonia was aspiration. My doctor didnt seem concerned. I am! 20 point drop in 3 weeks? And I see bubbles in the toilet. Only about a rep but they are there. But not every time I go. I'm really worried. I just had a friend die of this and a husband on dialysis. Can anyone shed any light on this?
