A member asked:
Is there a way to increase my gfr of 61 which is on the lower end of normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
GFR: This can be a long discussion. If there is an acute cause which caused the drop, then treatment of the condition generally improves it. Otherwise, good BP management, diabetes control, avoiding medications that can hurt kidneys, eating balanced diet, smoking cessation, losing weight if overweight can be good changes that can help. Good luck.
