@windyshores Your situation underlines exactly what we are saying in these forums, where we may deal with similar health concerns, but each of us is unique. I do question the idea of protein ramping up filtration. From Mayo Clinic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/high-protein-diets/faq-20058207

And from DaVita Kidney Care about protein: https://www.davita.com/diet-nutrition/articles/basics/dietary-protein-and-chronic-kidney-disease

I question everything being recommended and consider the situation a continuing mystery. Since I don't have protein in my urine, it seems that the doc is trying to explain the eGFR with various theories that are not panning out! I have not changed my diet at all but have avoided NSAID's for many months and try to hydrate. Nervous about the Reclast without answers on the kidney issue!
