Should I Be Worried About The GSR Score Being 80 In The Blood Test?

I had blood work done 2-28-14. The doctor talked to me about several things but never about the GFR score. It was 80. The printout says that is stage 2 and indicates kidney damage. The GFR score on this printout is rather hard to notice; I never noticed it until today. Do you think my doctor may have overlooked it and I should ask her about it or should I ignore it.

Hi, welcome to HCM
Kidney damage defines according to GFR. But, without implication on health of patient or if it is not associated with other abnormality suggestive of kidney disease, if GFR is> 60 then it is not considered as kidney damage.
Check basic urine report, BP, S.potassium and sonography.
With these reports, we can rule out kidney damage.
You can then consult your doctor or you can get back to me also with reports.
I think this would be helpful to you.
Best wishes. TC.
