Creatinine is a waste product in your blood that comes from your muscles. Healthy kidneys take creatinine out of your blood and send it out of your body through your urine. If your kidneys are not working the way they should, creatinine will build up in your blood. Your eGFR can change over time and can change based on some other problems, like if you have not been drinking enough water. As chronic kidney disease gets worse, your eGFR number will go down.
If caught early, healthy life changes like following a kidney-friendly eating plan and getting enough exercise may help slow down the progression of CKD and how fast your eGFR changes. Yes, your eGFR may still be in the normal range even if you have some signs of kidney damage, such as protein in your urine pee or physical damage to your kidneys.
EGFR inhibitors can often control the cancer for several months or even multiple years depending on the patient and the drug, but it will not cure the cancer.
When this happens, it is recommended that your doctor repeat biomarker testing, either through a tissue or liquid biopsy to see if you have a new biomarker or mutation that will help your doctor know which treatment to suggest next. Ramucirumab blocks proteins needed by cancer cells to form blood vessels to help support their growth and spread.
Work with your doctor to discuss your goals and options each time you have to make a treatment decision. The three big questions to ask are:. Research is happening at a rapid pace and your doctor should be up to date on the recommendations for your specific type of lung cancer.
