This is reassuring- what about egfr?
-
Hey Fedup, How'd you go when reviewing your levels/have you been tested again? I too just recieved results and my Urea is high, my egfr is lower than pre-op now too but not less that 60. Creatinine was normal but higher than pre-op and on high side of normal. TProtein and Albulmin are just on the lower side of normal. GP said it may be dehydration as I also (since blood test) have had diarrhoea BUT maybe the diarrhoea is a result rather than the cause considering the order of them occurring? I've had a sore back today now too. I am at weightloss goal and have 60-80g protein daily as recommended but looking up on how to resolve the kidney function, the readings recommend limiting protein intake. Do I just increase water intake or should I limit my proteins?
