My mom is 65 and her recent tests show EGFR 76 with creatinine at 0.93 mg/dl she's been diagnosed with CKD stage 2. Is treatment necessary at this point or is it okay to just monitor? Should we see a nephrologist now or wait? Also, she's scheduled for gallstone surgery next month is it safe for her to go ahead with the procedure given her kidney condition?

For a 65-year-old with stage 2 CKD (eGFR 76, creatinine 0.93 mg/dL), monitoring and lifestyle modifications are likely the initial approach, while a nephrologist consultation is recommended, not necessarily immediately, but within the next few months to assess the underlying cause and discuss long-term management options. The gallstone surgery is generally safe if properly managed, especially if the surgeon is aware of the kidney condition.
