@robtemery Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Have you been able to get a referral to a nephrologist, to look into why your eGFR took a nosedive? Has it been rechecked recently, at all? In my experience with different maladies, you can have something going on without there being many [or any!] symptoms.
Personally, I would be hesitant to step into any surgery without having confidence in what the doctor is saying, and being sure they diagnosis is accurate.

I hope you get some answers. What are you inclined to do? I wish you all the best. That must have been a terrible shock.
Does anyone know if having a colonoscopy several days before eGFR test can impact the result? I had a two day prep that was not like the first one and it was brutal. I did consume a lot of fluids. I felt my body was out of sorts and dehydrated from all the fluid I lost. The results were normal, but down a little from a year ago. September of last year I was 97. Since then I’ve lost a lot of weight, added exercise, eat a very nutritious diet, and gotten my vitamin deficiency treated. I was not expecting a decline. My doctor said normal, no problem, but…. I’m returning in 3 months to recheck.
