GFR

Posted , 2 users are following.

In 4/17 my GFR was 60, in 4-18 it had gone down to 54, then last month 1/19 it read 46, I will get it retested next month. I am an 80 year old female , active and feel healthy considering my age. Is there anything to worry about?

    Hello,

    No need to worry yet. You are at Stage 3 a with mild to moderate kidney function. Kidney function does decline with age. Hopefully yours will decline quite slowly and not cause any problems.
