Title: Creatinine, Calcium and eGFR levels all off
Post by: camille07 on December 04, 2018, 09:10:55 am: Hi everybody,

It's been a long time since I posted. I haven't been on the forum or FB for a while until recently. So I am concerned, but not nervous. This is the first time a lot of new things are high or low.

First, my triglycerides and cholesterol are 50-60 points above normal. I would say this is from Remeron. My psychiatrist took me off of zoloft and put me on this. It's working better than anything I've tried so I will talk to him about this.

Most or all are related to kidneys:

Calcium is .1 higher
eGFR is two numbers lower
Creatine is 14 points higher

What nutritional advice can anyone give me?

Also, I do exercise daily or try to walk at least a mile a day.

Thank you,

Cams

Yeah.

I mean the values are only slightly off range.

Is this just from 1 lab result or a couple over the span of 6 months/1 year? I would not go changing diets or messing about over slightly off values on 1 set of labs you see.

I would wait see how it settles and if not consult the doctor.

Thanksgiving

;D

That would do it lol. If it was me I would just wait and see what the next results are like and if they have leveled out again.
