I only know that GFR at 48 means your Kidney function is lower than it should be and something's going on.

Mine dropped like this when they lowered my BP to fast while in the Hospital.


Good your seeing a doc soon

My kidney doc only seems to care about my BP.

Be sure to press him/her for answers.

kimbo - let us know when you get the ultrasound results - what they show...okay?

My ultrasound showed a cyst 9x8 mm
I’m now being worked up for Acute Renal Failure 😡☹️😢

I'm sorry Kimbo - this isn't the news you wanted to hear.

You said in your first post that there was a cyst on your kidney.
Was a previous U/S used to detect it? What was the size of it then?

Hopefully they can drain the fluid to shrink it.

Please keep us posted...

(((hugs)))

kimbo you must be so frightened. You are in my prayers.

I'm so sorry, Kimbo!!! I've always been very careful about my kidney health, and have never had a cyst on one of them. thankfully. I hope that you find out what all is going on and it gets corrected soon.
