Question: Anyone have kidney issues with Lyme?

Anyone have kidney issues with Lyme Disease? Low GFR/high creatinine? Your answers appreciated.

Healing98 - major. Have had low GFR and high creatinine on and off for at least 5 years. Now numbers worse. LLMD and naturopath have always made it sound like it happens a lot, but with numbers getting worse, trying to see if it is really that common.

I am going to write something stupid that you already know, but as I recently watched Klinghardt a lot, he says when detoxyfinig, the first imperative is to protect the kidneys - that is, take binders. So the toxins go through GI tract rather than through kidneys - chlorella, zeolite, green clay, activated charcoal... Us lymies - we don't have to intentionally mobilize toxins, we have plenty circulating around anyway. Perhaps up chlorella or zeobind, and drink plenty plenty of water, and maybe take some herbal tea that protects the kidneys (nettle, parsley, uva ursi).

Yes!

Drink a shot of acv in cup of water, or a tsp of aluminum free baking soda in a cup of water 1-2 x per day.
And
Reduce your protein intake

I have been experiencing frequent urination and urgency for months now and it is driving me crazy, and from what I see, not so many people with lyme have it this bad. I'll do a blood test in a few days to check on my kidneys.

K. recommends chlorella (pyrenoidosa), as it doesn't have side effects, and actually has nutritional value.

Good news is, Zimca, I have seen a good amount of people with frequent urination with Lyme. So didn't want to make you nervous about kidneys. Thank Girle has had it off and on?

Have reduced protein intake. Had already lost 20 pounds with Lyme Disease in last few years, so what is there to eat? Carb restriction on top of that.

I have been nervous before, but this one has me out there. And can't figure out why LLMD didn't seem concerned about low GFR 5 years ago. I've seen other people with LD have that, but not a tremendous amount. Now even protein in urine on a couple of 24-hour urine tests.

Can Lyme do all this? Toxins? Co-infections? I've been trying to find the answers and struggling to.

I've only had one 'wonky' kidney function test. I've not had any urinary issues is the past few years. ( I did have urgency prior to diagnosis 4 years ago...but no issues anymore)

I do think the meds I'm on could be causing the trouble.

Hard to restrict protein...if you're restricting carbs...what else is there.

I guess healthy carbs - lots of vegetables...and small amount of protein...small piece of chicken, or an egg...etc.

Not had any bad labs but I frequently get pain in that area

Wondering why there is so much on dogs with kidney issues linked to Lyme but not humans?
