Welcome to the group. I'm sorry to hear about your news. If they didn't do blood tests, I'm wondering how they know your kidney function dropped. If you do have some sort of other underlying disease or infection, it can cause you GFR or kidney function to drop. Certain Medications high amounts of protein in your diet, high blood pressure and diabetes can also cause kidney disease.
Please keep us posted as this forum has wonderful support.
