eGFR Down 30% in 6 months to 20%
Posted: Mon Jan 11, 2016 5:59 am
I was diagnised with IGA two years ago on New Years Day 2014.
EGFR was 60 and above.
Two month ago (4 December 2015) eGFR was 35 so I came off Ibersartan. As of Christmas Eve eGFR was 25.
I started pred 60mg on Christmas day.
EGFR is now 200.
My creatinine has just been rising, rising, rising.
I have done everything, taken the meds, controlled BP etc.. but nothing can stop the IGA.
From the experience of others, how close am I to dialysis and transplant being required? Will it take months, weeks?
I have gone from being fit as a fiddle (or so it seemed) to being a rust bucket, in 24 months.
THanks for listening.
