A member asked:
My egfr went from 102 on 4/30/14 and slowly declined to 56 on 02/13/15. is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normal: A drop in your GFR by 50 percent is not normal and could be related to multiple reasons including lab error, dehydration, medications etc. See your doctor today and get a recheck of your labs today. Very important. You may need to see a nephrologist.
