GFR dropped 5 more points and I don't know why.

HI all, I got some blood work today and I was actually expecting the results to be good, or at least stable. My GFR dropped from 59 to 54 in 2 months. I have lost 20 pounds and my sugars are within normal limits. So sad.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Kidney & Bladder Support Group.

I have a low GFR (46), without corresponding creatnine numbers and I am not diabetic. The kidney Dr and the PCP have encouraged me to get better about drinking plenty of water–particularly during this really hot summer. Kidney size is ok per ultrasound.

You are only in Stage 3a, as am I. Have been told by visiting health people that I am in a good place.

Me, too! Just trying to push water better than I have until now at 70. It still felt like a huge "whew" when they told me. I had to stop anti-inflammatories, but it wasn't the problem I anticipated with that change. Thanks.
