Does testosterone temporarily lower gfr levels?

I am 37 and have bee blasting and cursing, though blasting more than I have been crusing for the last 4 years and stopped 3 weeks ago. I was blasting 800mg and crusing at around 400mg when I did cruse. I got labs done and they showed that my gfr was like 56 and the doctor said that this normally would indicate having stage 3 kidney failure, however I have no presenting symptoms of having stage 3 kidney failure and said that it could simply be a lab error. However, my second set of labs a week later showed that it went up 1 point. Now the doctor wants me to see a nephrologist. Does testosterone temporarily lower gfr levels?
 
I’ve heard that if you have lots of muscle mass your gfr blood work would also read a little lower

i think it has to do with the creatinine break down of the muscle mass or something like that

I once had gfr of 59 and for my next bloodwork I decided to not work out 5 days before my blood test and I also drank lots of water , drank so much I was pissing like a horse . When I got that bloodwork done my gfr went up to 68

Thank you sir for your reply!
 
My gfr is also generally off but my doc never seems to care too much. I have also read getting bloodwork done after a workout can throw that off

It makes sense because Some recommend you stop working out a couple days before you do gfr bloodwork
