Sep 23, 2020 · @bugsowen, as you likely know, Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) tells how much kidney function you have. It may be estimated from your blood level of creatinine. Living with kidney disease means patients become professional GFR readers. I'd like to bring @kamama94 @gingerw @trishanna and @fiesty76 and @jolinda into this discussion to talk about GFR and …

Oct 21, 2019 · Hello @azkidney57. I'd like to invite @sheeb and @wolfer1975 who talked about GFR rates previously on Connect. I'd like to also invite back @harleymama, @harleymama, @granny50846 and @nnimblett to share their experience after nephrectomy surgery. @azkidney57, how are you doing with your diet? Is it something the cancer center thinks will …

Dec 28, 2024 · Gfr declines with age. If this is an egfr (estimated from creatnine) is might be reflecting high protein intake or low hydration. Muscle loss (temporary or not and sometime medication related) is another factor that can increase creatnine levels. Collage supplementation and creatine supplementation can affect the blood levels of creatnine.

Oct 30, 2017 · The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measures how much blood the kidneys filter each minute, recorded as milliliters per minute (mL/min). As the GFR declines, so does your kidney function.

Jun 1, 2023 · Yes, Ginger, GFR at 26. The diet you mention is my mantra and has been for 10 years. I'm beginning to think PKD is simply deteriorating my kidneys. Maybe that's just the disease and it progresses regardless.

Sep 25, 2024 · hello,@ pamphilips1. GFR lower than 60mL/min is an indication of kidney disease. 120mL/min is consider normal for a young person and it declines with age. The speed of the reduction is interesting and your doctor is proactive on your behalf. Supplements can greatly affect GFR rates, especially the B vitamins, vitamin D and minerals too.

Sep 20, 2023 · Hi all- my husband (46, underlying condition was fsgs) was extremely fortunate to receive a living donation from family in 2021. He's been doing well but out of nowhere his GFR dropped from 54 to 29 in the space of 6 weeks, then rebounded up to 46, then back down to 36 in a week, then back to 46 last week. His creatinine has been anywhere from 2.2 to 1.8 during …

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.

Oct 25, 2023 · My liver transplant was 10 months ago. My kidneys took a hit and now my Gfr is 44. Dr. Mentioned kidney transplant would be needed if it gets lower. No medication was prescribed. And labs get done every two weeks. My tacro was 12 and subsequently lowered to .5 and 1 respectively. I feel rough but otherwise in great shape. Are kidney problems normal after …
