Tomando Biktarvy desde 2020, positivo desde 2017. Realmente no sé qué hacer con esto, pero mi eGFR está lo suficientemente desviado en un punto como para marcar Alto en mi prueba, y mi creatinina es ligeramente elevado. No tomo creatinina, aunque sí hago bastante ejercicio. Cuando busco los rangos de eGFR, indica que la función renal está al 50%. ¿En realidad? ¿Y a mis médicos no les preocupa? Soy. ¿Debería serlo? ¿Es común que la función renal decaiga al tomar este medicamento? Omnívoro. No… leer más
Taking Biktarvy since 2020, positive since 2017. I really don’t know what to make of it, but my eGFR is off by a point enough to flag High in my test, and my creatinine is slightly elevated. I do not supplement with creatinine, although I do work out quite a bit. When I look up eGFR ranges it indicates that kidney function is at 50%. Really? And my doctors isn’t concerned? I am. Should I be? Is it common for kidney function to be off taking this med? Omnivore. Non-smoker. Otherwise healthy-… read more
OK, thanks. Diet hasn’t changed over the years, but I do consume protein shakes now and then. The test has remained consistently off the last three tests over a year and a half which makes me suspect it is a side effect of the meds. Perhaps taking ibuprofen now and then has contributed.
Rarely drink sodas …
Food for thought *
I take the same meds. Fortunately. I have not had any kidney issues with any of the meds I have taken for treatment at all. But I also don’t drink alcohol… rarely, I don’t eat fast food or foods that are pre prepped hardly ever and I make my stuff from scratch hardly ever boxed frozen or pre made factory meals ie hot pockets ect. I believe this has been a driving factor for me . The stuff they put in our food is key to many of these problems as well. Oh and I really drink sodas processed juices etc. I do think these factors are major contributors in why my kidney function remains normal and why I haven’t seen any major medical problems from my medication. I also don’t do drugs Ever. Idk just good for thought 💭
Possibly relevant? Without any change in meds, lifestyle or diet, my LIVER numbers gradually went south. I went off Biktarvy. Replaced with Delstrigo, at my specialist’s recommendation.
I don’t know for sure that Biktarvy was the culprit, but I’m healthier now.
