When do I need a nephrologist?

Getting more information from another source is never a bad idea. In your case a nephrologist. The more information we have the better decisions we are able to make. I have posted this before but it bears repeating. “Less than 2% of those diagnosed with CKD go on to kidney failure.” Look it up. Do not take my word for it.

@dougr19 kidney transplants are the largest group of transplant patients on the UNOS Transplant List and patients typically wait is over 1 year. So the longer a person waits the worse it will get. Plus the listing are by blood type per organ type. A and B blood type wait the longest, followed by O. AB have much shorter waits since this blood type represents around 3% of the population. Plus AB type can receive type A, B, and O blood type organs.
