Title: Glomular Filtration Rate nearly doubled in 2 months
Post by: chuckt67 on November 11, 2012, 03:12:38 PM
How common is it for the GFR to jump up like this without, to our knowledge, any procedures or modifications to treatment or medications [losartan, stopped 6 mos. ago,  had been restarted 2 days before the test and supplements (ocular vitamins, DHA, zinc, ubiquinol, flax seed oil, cinnamon water extract, cranberry extract..) had been taken for about a month.

It looks like your creatinine was trending down and your GFR was trending up since June.

Did you change anything then?
