A consultation with a nurse practitioner is a good place to start. Nurse practitioners often spend a little more time with patients than doctors can. She may be able to refer you to a kidney specialist. I have just been diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease. Yesterday was my first visit to a kidney specialist. Learning as much as I can, especially about diet.
