Hi Anon, 

Thanks for posting!

Other than your kidney function being at 52%, are you healthy? Some doctors are not concerned with the fact that you are not at 100% if you're an otherwise healthy individual. Keep in mind that some people are born with only one kidney or donate a kidney and live healthy lives with a kidney function of 50%.

If you're at 52% and your health is steadily deteriorating but yet your doctor shows no concern, then it may be time to look for another doctor. 

Best,

Rosa
