Had my bloods back from the doctor, and now have been asked to have them done again due to egfr being lower then should be for my age (66) I’m 47. Has anyone had theirs done again and it gone back up. I have totally given up drinking now and am having plenty of water it will be 18 days alcohol free when I have my next test is this long enough to see any change??

Nurse here. eGFR can fluctuate, yes, things like dehydration and some medications can have an impact.
mine dropped to 60 on one test a year ago then was back in normal >90 on next test.
