I was reading over lab results and noticed that my egfr is 55 and my creatinine is 1.5 and according to what i have found researching the internet it states that i am in stage 1 kidney disease or failure. i don't know if i need to see the dr or not?

A "EGFR of 55" and a "creatinine of 1.5" are both suggestive of impending kidney disease. Get a referral to a nephrologist for analysis of current lab data and treatment suggestions for improvement.

eGFR less than 60 at your age, 47, is chronic kidney disease stage 3 or stage 3A to be precise. Stage 3 CKD is divided in 2 sub-stages: 3A eGFR 45-59 - 3B eGFR 30-44 Yes, you need to be referred and followed up with a nephrologist (specialist in kidney diseases).
