[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 105531, member: 13582"] Hi, That's a good improvement - what they do is look at a couple of blood tests and your age/gender and ethnicity to give you the estimated globular filtration rate of your kidneys which is the rate at which they filter gunk out of you blood ('gunk' is a technical term there.... :) ). This is a good link to a site which you can use to find your eGFR. [url=http://www.kidney.org/professionals/kdoqi/gfr_calculator.cfm]http://www.kidney.org/professionals/kdo ... ulator.cfm[/url] But, on the assumption that the figure is your eGFR what you have been told is that you have mild decrease in normal Kidney function, so things are going in the right direction. Keep doing what you are doing, but more so! All the best Dillinger [/QUOTE]
