With a proper kidney friendly diet it is possible to raise your GFR. I went from 54 to 73 in about 14 months. So strictly limit salt, protein, potassium, phosphorus (if it is pre-packaged - assume it is high in phosphorus - dark colored soda pops are also high in phosphorus. Milk too - dieticians of Canada site has a list of phosporus containing foods if I remember correctly).
I don't have a lot of the risk factors for kidney disease so that may be part of the reason my numbers raised so easily. I don't have high blood pressure or Diabetes. But I have heard of people who get these conditions under control raising their GFR's too.

In the absence of any regulatory mechanisms what effect do you think an increase in blood pressure would have on glomerular filtration rate?
Generally speaking, it would increase. However, it depends on the reason for the hypertension. For instance, if there is an obstruction or constriction of the renal artery (stenosis, malignancy, etc...) the physiologic affect would to increase the body's BP. This is due to the fact that the obstruction is decreasing hydrostatic pressure to the glomerulus, and transiently decreasing GFR. The body compensates by increasing BP to increase GFR. Patients that present with a renal artery stenosis could in fact be hypertensive with a decreased GFR.
What food would you eat to increase the amount of carbohydrates in your diet?
A lot of grains
How can you increase vitamins and minerals in your diet?

How do you increase your GFR?
To increase your glomerular filtration rate, blood flow needs to be increased to the kidneys and the impaired kidneys function restored. The glomerular filtration rate, of GFR, measures how much blood passes through the glomeruli into the kidneys each minute.
What factors control the glomerular filtration rate?
GFR affects by High and low blood pressure in the body. It is known as the rate of the fluid in the blood. GFR control by normal fluid like balance diet, water etc. @ Sagar Adelaide.

GFR blood test is low?
My husband is 72 - gfr is 64
What causes low GFR?
GFR means glomerular filtration rate. It is a way to measure the kidney's function. In adults the GFR should be somewhere between 100 and 130, while in children it should be about 110. Since the GFR is a measure of the kidney's function it is used to help classify kidney disease. GFR > 90 with no signs of kidney damage like proteinurea = normal GFR > 90 with signs of kidney damage = Category 1 GFR 60-90 = Category 2 (mild) GFR 30-60 = Category 3 (moderate) GFR 30-15 = Category 4 (severe) GFR < 15 = Category 5 (kidney failure)
