I’m nervous, irritated, angry. I have been receiving infusions for 2 months now bc my iron was low. The doctor wanted to improve my anemia to see if it would help with my fatigue. Well I was tested for a number of things. To my surprise my glucose shot up and my gfr shot down low( still in normal range) but right on the edge. To my understanding gfr cannot be risen??? Anyone have knowledge or experience with this?
I would not rely on one test result. You would need to have your GFR followed and see if it remains low. I believe you can raise it. Be aware of things that are "bad" for your kidneys like the NSAIDS we all seem to take, watch your protein intake, and drink water. Consult your provider and tell them that you want answers since it seemed to happen after your infusions.
Thank you for the advice. I have an appointment set with my doctor for next Thursday. I will consult with him and keep a positive outlook.
Great, Jennifer! A positive outlook is very helpful. Will keep you in my thoughts.
