Just got yearly bloods done. GFR was 35. Normal low is >60. Was 45 last yr...73 in 2018.
Started meds for hypertension 2017 Lisinipril; NSAID diclofenac .
Creatinine was 20 but I had just worked out, taken 75g protein and 10g creatine, so thats not an accurate reading.
Hoping that plan to switch protocol on many things will raise the number.
Need to switch from ACE inhibitor to Calcium channel blocker Amlodipine. ACE inhibitors can potentially drop GFR by 1/3.
Drop the NSAID diclofinec.
The part I dont care for is reduced protein from 250g ED. Probably should go to 100g, but going to try 125-150g.
Have to make up the calorie deficit with other marcos, dont want to reduct calorie intake.
Drop the Creatine. Drop the slin.
Pretty much my plan and Dr agreed totally. He initially wanted to drop the NSAID only.
Hoping to get to the low to mid 50s.
Then tinker with maybe adding more protein.
Otherwise Im in Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease. At 60yo 10-15yrs life expectancy.
Will follow this program, the in 6wsks, check blood and Albumim to Creatinine ratio with urine test.
Wish me luck. Any suggestions welcome!
