Hey everyone! It's been awhile since I've been on due to hectic life circumstances. I was wondering if anyone here has had kidney issues following surgery?
My glomerular filtration rate which is a factor in kidney function, decreased after surgery. I had blood work done one month before surgery and my GFR was >90 which is normal.
3 months post surgery it was just >60. One year out, and it's still just >60, and my creatinine level was a little bit elevated. Not pathologically so, and there was no protein in my urine, BP was 93/58 so no blood pressure issues, so technically they're functioning ok, just sluggish.
My doctor told me the high protein diet is probably stressing my kidneys and told me to try eating 50-60g of protein per day and recheck in 6 months. I was eating 80 + g protein per day.
I was just wondering if it's just me, or if anyone else had issues with their kidneys on a high protein diet?
