Transplant centers in the U.S. generally use the creatinine to estimate GFR. There are many web sites that have the eGFR equation. One just needs to enter standardized creatinine value, race, sex, and age to estimate GFR.

The hospital I was diagnosed at I use for getting my monthly labs done and the results gives a GFR value since 2000 with no added test. So Im thinking that there should still be atleast 1 GFR value, I just have to  ask for earlier lab reports that I hope they still have. Other option is to ask my local nephrologist and hope the previous numbnut doctor gave her those results and that she can give them to me.Either way, more wait time.

For my last blood test, my creatinine was 7.0.  Tomorrow I'm going to have another blood test.  I hope it doesn't get worse.
