My Kidney numbers dropped 25 numbers in 10 months

Thank you for your response. Clearly I can see they, my MD's are not taking this seriously. I am assuming I am becoming a bother since I am sending a lot of My Chart messages to them. I have a CT scan in 3 days for a yearly screening for lung cancer. I do have esophagitis which is very painful and hard to manage. Is is safe for me to have the CT scan with declining eGRF numbers? The worry is the radiation. As well, I am peeing much more, and always urgent. I have been looking at me pee to study the color. Right now, is is light yellow, with a tinge of cloudiness, not much, and minuscule white flecks floating. I send a My Chart message about my urine, and they never responded. As well, I am for several days now feeling deep pain on my left scapula and under my left breast. At times, it radiates to center back. But it's a deep pain, that comes and goes. Do you know if Kidneys hurt in these area's? Thanks .

@sallylynn Definitely time to get in to see a nephrologist, based on your comments! You probably are okay with the scan, but check with your team to be sure. For me, it was when I got to eGFR of 30 or so, that I had to go contrast-free. All signs point to you needing to see that kidney doctor! I bet you are keeping a journal of symptoms, right?! Kidneys often hurt in the lower back area, if they hurt, at least in my experience.
