Stage III (Moderate) CKD definition: eGFR=30-59
my creatinine is worse when it goes higher
my eGFR is worse when it goes lower
6/11/13
creatinine = 1.65
eGFR = 38
(this is when I was diagnosed with CKD and started going off lithium)
8/8/13
creatinine = 1.33
eGFR = 49
12/30/13
creatinine = 1.57
eGFR = 40
(after which I spent about 4 days aggressively hydrating myself)
1/7/14
creatinine = 1.60
eGFR = 39
So my eGFR right now is almost exactly as bad as it was when I was still on lithium, before I'd started going off the drug at all. I still don't know what's happening and am waiting to hear about the results of the urinalysis from last week. It's a little stressful. Why have the results gotten so bad again? Yikes. Also, my vertigo continues, especially at night and in the mornings. Is it related? This is all worrisome.
