It’s just a part of a nationwide scam for us to die prematurely
If you can, hydrate to shit - and retest again
Actually, I've found the eGFR to be useful. It led me to find out I had cysts on my kidneys that were hindering function. It's called PKD, polycystic kidney disease. It's just another part of my body going to shit, although it is inherited. The low eGFR led to me getting an ultrasound of kidneys and bladder
As of now, my eGFR is back above 70. I was at CKD level 3a; almost CKD 3b. I credit my improvement to 8g of astragalus daily. I found out about astragalus when I was reading onr of Dante's ( Doggcrapp) posts on BB, AAS, and kidney disease.

Reason: Added info about astragalus.
There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...
