Hey guys,
I'm on 40mg Telmisartan daily and got my blood work back 3 weeks in.
Creatinine is highly elevated above reference, Urea (Harnstoff called below) is just slightly elevated but another kidney health marker cystatin c is great and low.
So, if I calculate eGFR by using my creatinine I would get a super low 57ml/min which is stadium 3 CKD i think, but calculating it by using my cystatin c it gives a very healthy 125ml/min eGFR. I would be interested what you guys think about my bloods and my overall kidney health?
I know there are a few threads here about Telmisartan and I dived into them but highly elevated creatinine wasn't discussed there sadly.
