    Egfr is a waste of space - I just did my research on this

    It’s calculated nonsense

    And, they went away gfr


    Your bun, ast & alt are pretty much the only tests that indicate anything now

    Gfr was a good one


    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.
