Family practice : You may want to see a nephrologist make sure medications you take are not irritating to your kidneys. If you are a diabetic this needs to be well controlled.

Kidney Disease: Your current GFR is 53 ml/min, that is stage 3 chronic kidney disease (ckd). At your level of it, chances are you will probably not have to change your life style and you need to find out what caused your ckd. If there are reversible causes, an obstruction of your kidneys, that may be able to be resolved and your may improve your gfr. Go see an nephrologist for an answer about your gfr..
