My story is long, but I will be to the point and as brief as possible:

In March of 2011, I started feeling ill, with vague symptoms. My blood test at the ER showed a messed up immune profile, my blood sugar was high, and a few other blood test perameters were off. My EGFR was normal, as was my BUN, and I had a CT scan of my kidneys, which showed normal perfusion.
Flash to a bit over a year later. My EGFR has been more or less stable, at about 79 (creatinine of 1.0), whereas my BUN, in successive blood tests, has been steadily rising, from about 10 mg/dl a year ago, to a present 16.
It should be mentioned that I do often wake up fairly dehydrated, as I have considerable urination at night, and must void considerable urine every morning, upon awakening.
I was concerned that Heavy metals (for which I am now chelating to remove from my system) had done damage to my kidneys' ability to reabsorb water, so I set out to see a nephrologist.
The nephrologist (this is January of this year) ordered a 24 hour creatinine and an ultrasound. The 24hr CrCl came back at 125 ml/min (95-137 range), and my ultrasound was deemed "unremarkable", with no signs of pathology or obstructions, etc.
With no red flags from the doctors, what then is there to worry about? I am chronically fatigued (adrenals and thyroid function within normal), and still have considerable urination at night, and have a hard time falling asleep.
These might or might not be signs of very early kidney disease, however, all tests do not point to this. Could chronic states of dehydration, from the failure to adequately concentrate urine, be the cause of my consistently low GFR (creatinine of 1.0 comes to about 70-83, depending on measure employed)? Heavy metal does affect many organ systems and enzyme pathways, so maybe its a wait and see issue? Sorry for being so long winded. I just feel myself ignored.
