hi my nephr told me to expect a 3 to 5 point red in egfr after 2 weeks. bloods at gp show no reduction still at 30
Does this mean i will not get the longer term benefit of ACE intervention. Not due to see nephr til Dec. any feedback appreciated many thanks

terry,
I'm not sure. but it sounds like you've only been on the medication for two weeks at this point. if thats correct it may be a little too soon to tell how it will effect your renal function.
Another thought: a loss of only 3-5 points with your eGFR may not do much to your creatinine. i know my nephrologist is much more focused on my creatinine level than my eGFR. so even if you don't get much positive bounce out of this medication, it may help stablize your renal function at its current level (or very close to its current level).
