Hey guys, I'm a 33 year old male in Canada. I dont have diabetes or blood pressure issues, I have a clean diet and I lift weights and do cardio. I'm on a low dose of levothyroxine for low thyroid hormone, but other than that I'm perfectly healthy. I'm 6 feet 195 pounds.
I had some bloodwork done in November and everything was all good. I had the same work done last week just as a routine checkup. My creatinine came back at 156 and my eGFR at 50. I was well hydrated for the test.
Is there any explanation for these numbers other than kidney problems? I wont hear back from my doctor until some time next week, so I've been very worried since I received the results.
Thank you for any info.

Hi Horus,
eGFR is notorious for being inaccurate, Creatinine, to some extent, is dependant on how much exercise you had a a day or so ago.
The numbers don't look bad, and worry is not going to solve anything.
Best wishes.
