What number should your gfr be at before seeing a nephrologist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
<90: If your GFR is less than 90, it would be prudent to see a nephrologist. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
