See a doctor you trust and get a referral to another nephrologist. Yesterday. Stop eating meat right away. Look up kidney diets and web pages maintained by survivors who have diet advice. Look at National Kidney Foundation. FInd a kidney nutritionist. Haunt the web.
Follow Ginger's advice.
New Dr time
Go to another nephrologist for second opinion? No need to sit around and worry by yourself.
@bmonroe It has been about a month now since you posted. I am wondering how you are doing now, and what your doctor has said to you this time?
Looking forward to hearing from you!

@bmonroe Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!
I can well imagine you have concerns. Are you in a position to fill in some blanks before I continue a discussion on your eGFR and doctor's lack of communications with you?
What is the underlying cause of your kidney disease? Is this doctor a nephrologist? Are you on any medications?
