GFR less than 60 is stage 3 kidney disease, at this point the pt shod be referred to Nephrology. When I worked disease Mgmt Nephrologists stressed how they want to see these pts at the earliest stage possible to start treatment in order to delay progression of the disease. Less than 30 is stage 4 and at this point a fistula is initiated because once the pt reaches stage 5 it's ESRD and pt starts dialysis.
