Glivec and Kidneys

[Guest guest]

This is a new one

I have not heard of anyone having kidney issues

My Cumulative Electrolytes (Serum) is always tested

along with all other bloods and PCR etc every three months

The last 3 x eGFR have come back a little low but these are pretty stable -

always between 58 - 62 which the normal is between 60 - 90

(Haem not concerned - CML)

This is from one lab - where I get my PCR done

My GP sent me to get normal bloods done for a yearly check

and this new lab had a different evaluation (NOT SURE) but the

eGFR came back as 48 which is really low.

Now I have to get kidneys checked - 24 urine testing -

then some ultra sounds

Different Lab

Has anyone had any experience with low eGFRs

This has happened of course because nothing has happened to me

for at least 6 weeks - and no longer have any rash issues - noravirous issues -

so the cycle of medicos continues
