I was stage 3 with eGFR in the 50's for a long time before seeing a nephrologist. My PCP never even mentioned it. I think a sudden drop in eGFR should be investigated though. I didn't go to a nephrologist until my eGFR hit 37 suddenly. My Cystatin C, a steadier form of GFR, has remained pretty stable though.
