A member asked:
Can oral health issues such as overgrowth of mouth fungus impact egfr rate or would the fungal issue only be detected on a full blood count?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oral health issues such as overgrowth of mouth fungus can indeed impact the eGFR rate. Fungal infections in the mouth, also known as oral thrush or candidiasis, are caused by an overgrowth of a type of yeast called Candida albicans. This infection can affect the kidneys and lead to a decrease in eGFR rate. fungal infections can cause inflammation throughout the body, including in the kidneys.
