how much fluctuation is considered normal for our eGFR?
Hi
thanks for reaching out. I think you might find this article helpful: https://chronic-kidney-disease.net/clinical/fluctuations-in-egfr. Jill (Team Member) Thank you. I had read that article earlier today, although informative, I am wanting to know how much a fluctuation is considered normal in a 90 day period. I had improved my numbers from 38 to 61 in about 2 years, and from 61 to 68 in 90 days, but in the last 80 days the number is down to 61 again. Should I be worried/concerned?
I can understand your concern. Have you had a chance to talk to your doctor about this? We are not medical professionals so I would not want to give you bad advise. Please keep us posted on what they say. Jill (Team Member)
Thanks. I don't see my kidney doctor until January, so I guess I'll just have to wait. even though you don't have an appointment until January, you could always call them to share your concerns. They should be able to help you over the phone. I also found this article, I hope it can help: https://www.kidney.org/kidney-topics/can-my-gfr-get-better. Jill (Team Member)
