Hi Experts,
I wonder if anyone can tell, having GFR 59.9 could cause swollen of legs and how much severe it is?
Could it's detoriation be slow down?
Thanks in advance

All depends on age and co morbidities i.e do you suffer with high blood pressure/diabetes.
A GFR of 59.9 is good but again dependent on age and if rapid decrease in GFR, do you have protein in urine?

Hello, avanish. I was sorry to read about your symptoms but I wouldn't rush to attribute them to CKD. I have a GFR of 6 and the only swelling I experience is in my feet towards the end of the day.
Perhaps there are other reasons, such as needing a diuretic but a GFR of 60 is something I would love to have!
Best wishes, and keep well.

When I had swellings in my legs, my doctor prescribed compression.socks. Without these socks, I developed ulcers, open sores, which took a long time to heal mainly because I am diabetic.
There are over the counter compression socks but the better ones, you need a prescription.
Or you may need a diuretic., to reduce the swelling in your legs.
I hope you talk to a doctor as soon as possible. Good luck
