twice have had kidney function tests which gp says are 'alright' but should be repeated in another three months. i am worried sick what this means they are finding. two years ago i had e coli uti and several antibiotics but have never had kidney problem before. what could be happening, is it age related?
Hi Ann
This could be fine, how old are you and what was your egfr number?
I have been ‘monitored’ for this for the last few years now . I’m 54 and my egfr was 41.
Since making simple dietry changes i.e cutting out sugar and having low carb diet my egfr has gone up to 56 
providing your numbers keep stable you have nothing to worry about just keeping healthy to promote good kidney / overall health.

Hard to say more without your providing the kidney function test results, or providing your age. It could mean simply:
- Your results may be close to the border of normal. (GFR 60)
- A single test result is never very meaningful. The real question is: is it stable? or is it moving down (and how fast)?
This, by itself, is not problematic. One could be on the border of normal for decades!
