I’m a few weeks post op. My kidney started working immediately in surgery. My GFR 83. I was ecstatic! In 16 days my GFR has declined 23 points!! Not sure what to think. I started Imodium, have had cdiff explosive diarrhea for weeks and I think that’s the culprit. Getting iv fluids now. I pray this does the trick💞

@sissydog Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, and congratulations on your new kidney!

Our eGFR can fluctuate as our hydration levels change, our medications change, even how much exercise we get changes. I would be surprised if your eGFR doesn't level out after you get through the horrid CDIFF infection.

What are your doctors telling you?
