My doctor of 44 years is a board certified Internal medicine doctor and gerontologist. It has been 1 year since he spotted an eGFR issue and he said that he could do most of the treatment and testing in house. (He is a resident at Presbyterian hospital Dallas/ Medical City). I am going for a blood draw and urinalysis next week. If I need to see a specialist I will certainly look you up!!! Brother James Kendall Moore OSB OFS OSC
I have protein in the urine and egfr of 72. My GP just put me on ACE inhibitors assuming it was my BP causing the CKD2. BP was never higher than 140/80, typically 130’s. He won’t refer me to a nephrologist.
I finally did and was told not to worry about it! EGFR is still 70 and medical according to records has been 66-77 over the past 5 years. I don’t have records prior to that.
I had a 7mm stone. my creatinine levels up to 1.9 and after removing the stone my creatinine is now 1.67 and my EGFR level is 49. My just had another blood test 2 weeks after surgery my creatinine and EGFR are still the same. My questions are, now the surgery is fine and my stent is now removed, can I expect my creatinine’s level to go back down and my EGFR to go back up 🔝 to normal? If so, how long will it take approximately?

Simple answer, never would be too soon.
