Hello doctors. is it possible to go from a egfr of 56 six months ago to stage 4 or worse kidney disease? i am waiting blood and urine tests from the lab and i am thinking anxiously?

The pace of GFR change depends on the etiology of kidney disease. Usually, we check renal function test at least monthly if patient is on active treatment for an acute problem. The last blood test you had was 6 months ago so kidney function is likely stable and chronic so it's very unlikely your GFR will drop below 30 (stage 4) with blood test this month. Do not worry much and take care!

It depends on a lot of things and generally does not happen that fast. Think positively and await the results. Wish you well.

Hi Doc. How to compute my EGFR in kidney disease. My Creatinine Serum is 0.80 mg/dL, Female, 31 years old and Filipina. But my protein in urine test is 3+ and RBC in urine is 3+?
My urine lab test shows 3+ protein in my urine collection. All my lab test are neg. so my Doc ask me a kidney biopsy . He told me if dont have budget for biopsy, he would try to give me a "steriod medicine" as testing... Does giving steriod safe ?
Doctor sent urine sample to lab and all came back neg except blood said Small, mucous said moderate, and bacteria said few. Is this something to worry about? and should I get repeat urine test again.? Had routine blood done all was normal?
