Should I Be Worried About Dropping Creatinine Level?
I have noticed my eGFR has been 59 on to sets of lab results 6 months apart. First one in January creatinine level was 0.6, now my creatinine level is 0.8. My question since my doctor has never mentioned it to me, is this something I need to worry about? Should I be concerned about CKD?

Dropping creatinine level without any kind of renal replacement therapy is a good sign whicb may strongly suggest improvement in gfr. Otherwise creatinine drop may mean drop in muscle mass due to wasting in CKD.
