eFGR

I'm on Ramipril 5mg daily due to a albumin/creatine level of 35 but my eGFR is >60 which normal. The whole issue of Diabetic Nephropathy is a bit confusing to the lay person, which measurements are good or bad etc. All I can say Novorapidboi is that you Consultant may put you on an ACE inhibitor to protect your kidneys. Hope this helps

Apparently though it's normal reporting practice
Routine reporting of eGFR values >90 is not recommended and many labs are now reporting all values over 60 as >60. - See more at: http://www.renal.org/information-resources/the-uk-eckd-guide/about-egfr#sthash.OMMpHKVC.dpuf

spoke to nurses at 2 different clinics....[pump and normal] and they have confirmed all my lab results are within normal parameters, my eGFR was reported in green as >59ml/min...........

I still feel as though I have pain where my kidneys are, I also had a bit of constipation and I had a faint rash appear on my forearms...........

do you think its possible for some symptoms to appear if you have convinced yourself there is something wrong when there isn't.....?
