Hi Ginger: Thank you for the quick response. He is feeling fine and will be seeing his doctors next week. We were anxious because of the drop in the number, and were just curious if that kind if drop is often the case with just one kidney. Thanks again.

@hshiffrin17 You're welcome! Having to have that surgery can be anxiety-producing, for sure. I also have a tumor on my right kidney that we are watching, and will face a nephrectomy if it gets aggressive or larger. My issue is my kidneys are at eGFR 22% now, so such a surgery will put me into dialysis immediately.

Please feel free to wander through this kidney and bladder group for information that may interest you. I will be curious what your son's dr may relate to him, about his kidney function going forward.
