I had regular bloods taken and was taken aback when out of the blue was told I have chronic kidney disease stage 3.

I have no idea Nadine. As I said, it was routine bloods as I had been put on the cholestrol drug, though my cholestrol is 3.4. My toes were going numb and purple almost black at the end of a day. I went to see my doc, she sent me to a vascular surgeon saying I would need this op where they will go in through my groin. So off I go to the hospital dreading what he would say. He did this test down my leg down to my toes, then said my arteries are brilliant, its the little vessels that supply the blood to my toes that have blocked, then said I needed to go on the cholestrol pill. These can damage the liver so my doc said I needed a test 4 weeks after starting the pill. 2 days after the bloods were taken she called me in, and hit me with the chronic kidney disease. I had no symptoms at all. I asked her what I could do to help myself she said dont get stressed, and lose weight.

Hi Nanatre,

Don't be scared, it's not as bad as it sounds here is a link that explains everything about it quite well and you need to discuss with your GP whether the cause is an underlying condition.

patient.co.uk/health/Chroni...

and you can slow it right down and maybe even improve it, buy stopping any anti-inflammatory meds you may be taking, like Ibuprofen (Nurofen) and Diclofenac (Voltarol), as well as helping your kidneys with diet and drinking plenty of fluids. Here is a link to a free recipe book to start you off.

I've had it for about 10 years and my kidneys have been showing as normal in my blood results for the last 3. Against my better judgement, I have let my GP put me back on Ibuprofen and I have to admit the results have been fantastic, it has knocked off all my OA pain.

I've insisted that my bloods are done 3 monthly to make sure that if there is any change in the results I can sort it out quickly.

I hope that helps a bit

happy hugs, kate :)

thinking of you. are you being reffered to a renal specialist or something?

my gp tests my liver function but i don;t think she tests my kidneys. i will talk to her about this x
