Hey All!!

Has anyone had a low eGFR result come back with blood tests?

Just had mine come back as follows:

10/09/2015 5:15:00 p.m.: From labtests
RENAL FUNCTION TESTS
Sodium 141 mmol/L N 135 - 145
Potassium 4.0 mmol/L N 3.5 - 5.2
Creatinine 104 umol/L N 60 - 105
eGFR 79 mL/min/1.73m2 L > 90
Comment
An eGFR > 60 mL/min/1.73m2 suggests normal kidney function, in the absence of other evidence (e.g. hypertension, albuminuria, haematuria) of kidney damage. It is less reliable in patients with extremes of body weight, muscle disease or severe liver disease.
N
Potassium may be falsely elevated due to delay in specimen separation. N


Other results as follows:

REPRODUCTIVE HORMONES
LH < 0.1 IU/L L 2.0 - 9.0
Oestradiol 154 pmol/L N < 161
Gonadotrophins are expected to be low/suppressed when taking testosterone supplements

Validated by Dr. S. Musaad, Chemical Pathologist N



Quite worried about this... can anyone shed some light please?? :)
 
That's a great creatinine clearance. Taking supplements like creatine, exercising, eating a lot of protein, dehydration, etc can lower eGFR. Anything above 60 is good.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
