Hello
My Dr. is showing concern about my GFR numbers, 1 year ago it was 122, half year 112, Aug.2024 90 and Sept 79. Should I be concerned?

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

It is so good that you are watching your dad's labs. Can you get the opinion of the MD overseeing the NP.

Interesting! The literature I found was for AKI (sorry, should’ve mentioned that!)
which was the concerning part of his labs to me.
I just don’t think semaglutide agrees very well with him given the lack of improvement in his labs & management of his type 2 diabetes.

Thank you for suggesting to have the overseeing MD advise! Even being a nurse I forgot that!

I found what seems to be a credible site (third party tested with reports and great reviews) for a berberine supplement I think would be great for glucose metabolism. Will likely purchase after discussing with his NP!

Also, I feel obligated to state I am in no way affiliated with this company and this is not to be taken as professional medical advice. Please always do your own research and talk to your provider!!
