Please consult a nephrologist to ascertain the cause of you low eGFR. -The cause needs to be addressed to prevent further deterioration of you kidney function. Wish you good health!

You can have another non-fasting basic metabolic panel done and if the estimated GFR remains below 60 cc/min/1.73 m2, a preliminary renal work up should be done. An eGFR of less than 60 cc/min/1.73 m2 is definitely abnormal for a 49 year old person.
