Wow, LymeSurvivor - That’s amazing that your GfR has risen to those levels - for two months straight.

It’s gotta be the treatment of the infections, right?

I believe you are right Girlie. I've tried many things over the years to help my kidney's and they have slowly declined, then treat the infections and they rapidly improve.

If I want to ask a question not related to kidney's where do I ask it?

I have not come across that Lyme infection can cause low GFR. That is not doubting it can happen, but I wonder why there is not much on it. Obviously, it has helped LymeSurvivor. I've read things that said Lyme does not impact kidneys, but I have always questioned that. That is interesting.

running wild - I also can't find any articles on Lyme and its effects on kidneys.

I found this - haven’t read it yet

I'm currently treating Babesia with Buhner herbs. I'm several weeks into it, with a pretty comprehensive dosing regimen, and the last few days I've had increasing kidney discomfort, especially on waking in the morning. So this thread is very welcome and appreciated. I've increased some detox herbs and have toned down the Babesia herbs a bit, to give the kidneys a break, and I haven't heard from them all day.

I looked up the ingredients of Bucco and also another professional-only kidney herbal blend, and the dominant ingredients include Buchu, Juniper Berry and Chlorophyll (there are others). I've increased my Chlorella, and if the problem continues will get the other two herbs as well.

Since you couldn’t find Lyme references, I looked for babesia references.

CDC says babesia can affect kidneys. https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/babesiosis/disease.html
“Complications of babesiosis can include: Malfunction of vital organs (such as the kidneys, lungs, and liver)“

Dr. Rawls lists “organ malfunction (heart attack, stroke, respiratory distress, kidney failure)” under Signs and Abnormal Labs of babesia. Also as far as where babesia is commonly found: “Infections with babesia occur most commonly in New England, New York, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Minnesota, but it is also becoming common in the Southeast. Georgia is the epicenter of southern US infections.” Aren’t we lucky sad

Thanks for links, Girlie and WBF. I had read the one that Lyme/Babesia can cause acute kidney problem, but had not found anything on chronic. I had never thought about babesia or, perhaps, Bart. Much appreciated.

I've known it could cause kidney problems for dogs. Now I'm wondering if our dog that died 8 years ago of failing kidneys had Lyme. The vet was surprised because, he said, that breed of dog normally had good kidneys. Makes sense if it can harm kidneys in dogs, it can do so in humans. It's another example that there needs to be more research and answers for Lyme.

This morning I brought out a bottle of Microbinate I have had, which includes monolaurin and olive leaf extract, plus a couple of other herbs. Within 15 minutes of taking not even a full dose, I became somewhat off balance. Still feel off. That tells me it hit something.

Have had high Babesia Duncani test results, along with EBV. Last test the myco test was much lower as I have been taking a mix of cordyceps, Japanese Knotweed, Cats Claw, hottyunia (spelling?), sida acuta. It is a mix for Myco P., but hits other areas. And I have also now seen myco can impact kidneys.

Guess we just keep guessing and trying. Anyone else tried any of those or had reaction to them, especially the monolaurin and olive leaf? You are all appreciated.

Its not the lyme its the ABX that rip up the kidneys

Lapis-It definitely was the dapsone or daraprim in my case - not the infections BUT some people get lowered kidney function from the infections even before they’re on any antibiotics

That was what happened with me - lower before treatment.
