A member asked:
My createnine was 0.44 and egfr 177 in march and did a high protein diet for 3 months will this effect my kidneys function?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The whole business of estimating GFR's from the insufficient information provided by blood work is unscientific. Don't worry about it if your serum creatinine remains normal / low and your urinalysis is normal.
