What to do if EGFR is 19?

My husbands neph has been sort of doing the same thing saying that numbers are just that. He has not said a lot about diet. Seems like he always said things were good because most of the things measured in the metabolic panel were good and urinalysis always good. Stage 3B in spite of egfr in the 20’s and creatinine 3.3. Then at the last appointment we saw the PA and he wrote up that he needed to go to kidney consulting classes and be preparing for dialysis. Still waiting for some comments from the doctor.

Yes, my Neph never talks about diet. I asked him about drinking water through the night, no opinion. I like to drink sips of water during the night, maybe I feel like it's keeping me hydrated. Sadly, I learn very little from my Neph. Your husband's creatinine seems high. Mine is 1.9 and I'm considered 4th stage. Difference between males and females? Weight? Age? I'm so looking forward to my appointment at Mayo. Although, I might get bad news. Yet to be seen.
