What Does The Kidney Reports Indicate?

I had my R kidney removed 3 yrs ago b/c of Urotheliol cancer in the lining of the kidney, not the kidney itself. My readout In Aug. of this yr. says I have stage 3 of Chronic kidney disease and that my GFR is 40, BUN/CR 20/1.3. I would like to know what does all this mean?

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
The urologist who removed the R.kidney must've told you, that urothelium is the inner lining of the entire urinary tract, from kidney through bladder, upto the external opening at the tip of the penis.regular check-up with the urologist would also have been advised, to look for any recurrence of the cancer, with urine cytology,renal function tests, ultrasound, CT/MRI scans, if indicated.As your L.solitary kidney function seems to have reduced,it progresses to chronic kidney disease,and is treated by a nephrologist.
