My last few ACR results came back a little high, at 12.7 the last time, indicating early kidney damage, so the doctor is going to put me on ACE Inhibitors. My BP is fine.
Off my own bat I've stopped drinking alcohol (though haven't ruled it out completely), no longer add salt to my food and have finally started eating better to lose some of the excess weight. (Can only do me good).

Most important thing for me is controlling bp and diabetes. I'm scared of going on dialysis, always wondering when it will be.....

At my recent clinic appointment my eGFR was taken and I had never seen this before..........

the result displayed on there lab sheet was >59ml/min, which is normal as anything above 59 is displayed as above 59.............the website I use to check results only displayed 59ml/min, which after a Google sent me into panic, was OK though...........

that's my experience.......

are you getting an real measure of the kidney function.......?
