Kidney Concerns

Kidney and urinary tract
1

I'm 34 years old, I'm pretty healthy in as much that I train regularly, eat clean,  drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol  (maybe drink 4-6 times a year).

I've been getting sharp stabs in my kidneys and a sort of fluttering.  The reason I don't really drink  (10 yrs) is one pint makes me feel rough and puffs up my eyes.  I can also get systemic itching - that comes on bry randomly - excessive coffee seems to  be a trigger. 

Any way. .I've got two swollen occipital lymph nodes up do had full bloods run.

I noticed my GFR is down from 81 to 75 inside 18 months, my creatinine was 110.

I rang for my results and was told everything was 'ok' but I always pick up a copy of my results for my own piece of mind...

I'm worried about CKD and what seems like quite a sharp decline in kidney function - or am I just being dramatic?

Overall your data would suggest that you still hav plenty of renalfunction. However your data does present a drop in eGFR over an 18 month time period. I think any moderate drop in function should be investigated further.  Consequently, it might be worth scheduling an appointment with a nephrologist to be sure all is well and seek advice regarding what you can do to maintain your renal function.
