Why is CKD Stage 3A downplayed? Am I over reacting to be concerned?

67 and my latest EGFR slipped to 31 from 48 in Feb. of this year. And all my nephrologist says is you're not taking ibuprofen, correct? Then he asks what I need him for. 🤦

@gatiger12 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! Gosh, that sure was not a very helpful comment from your doctor, was it? Can you get another nephrologist?
What have been the trends in your eGFR numbers? There are several [temporary] factors that could cause a wonky number. Dehydration, illness, medication change. Do any of these factors fit in here?
