Just got back from the Nephrologist who had the results of my latest tests.  Good news is the my Stage 3 kidney disease is not caused by Diabetes, not by high blood pressure or any kind of inflammation.  The bad news is they don't know what's causing it.  No diet restrictions. only said to cut down on salt. So, change in medication, more blood tests and on we go......Ugh.

Thats good news although frustrating salt is a good thing to cut out if you can it may help hopefully they can keep you at stage 3 with that keep well hydrated if you can & a good healthy diet which i'm sure you know already x

I would look at your medication and check if any of them may be the cause, even pain killers can cause problems used long term.
