Not accurate: This is not an accurate measure of kidney function. If you have some underlying medical condition which makes kidney disease likely, an accurate measurement of GFR by 24 hour urine collection and other measurements would be advisable.

EGFR: You must understand that the "e" of egfr means "estimated". It may be higher or lower. To determine what your actual GFR is, go see a physician and have a 24 hour urine for creatinine clearance and protein done. That will give you the actual level of your kidney function. Your kidney function at stage 2 chronic kidney disease should not cause any significant alterations of your life style.
