Jun 1, 2023 · Hello! I've been reading many posts saying GFR has improved pretty dramatically. I was told kidneys do not repair themselves or get better.

But my GFR continues to go down.

His creatinine has been anywhere from 2.2 to 1.8 during that time, and his potassium skyrocketed to 5.9 (is now down to 4.6).

Jul 9, 2023 · I would agree the two major elements to my success in raising my GFR is diet and exercise. My diet is low in sodium, sugar, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus.

Sep 5, 2022 · My GFR went low , but the matching creatnine didn't change. I ended up going to a kidney doctor and they say I am pretty much fine--but they felt that the main issue was not the NSAIDs I take, but that I am dehydrated. I am supposed to drink a lot more water.
