My wife has endstage renal syndrome. She is African American age 65. her recent eGFR scores have been
10. 5 13.2 13.0 11.5 10.2 10.5
What if anything can she do with diet to stabilize these scores? Medication: iron, blood pressure meds(2 types) premarin and vit d, 2000. She has no obivious symptoms yet.

Thanks

A normal EGFR is considered to be 60, or more, numbers lower than that are considered abnormal, and may indicate renal failure.

You can learn more about EGFR on the Kidney Foundation website.

Safeharbor, does she have a medical condition that is causing these numbers? What have her doctors advised her to do?
