Creatinine levels almost normal, low EGF

Hi, my creatinine levels were running around 1.4, we changed some meds and now it is 1.2, which is much better, but my EGF is still down @ 50.

Do I need to be concerned?

i wouldnt worry too much egfr is 50 so thats 50% function depends how long you've been steady for i suppose but people can live many years at more or less the same function as we get older our function drops also!
