@gardendoglover I have had an eGFR of 50 or so for years and never even saw a nephrologist. Below 60 is common at a certain age so I had no worries. It isn't the value that is concerning, it is the drop, from what I have been told.

That's why i was concerned. GFR dropped 44 points in six months. So I went to the ER last night because i was freaking out, The doctor said that GFR can fluctuate a lot - which I'd never heard. Very relieved. It was 101 as of last night. She also said that the GFR wasn't the most pertinent number to track - creatine
