Second, my nephrologist has said numerous times that they generally don’t do biopsies unless they believe the biopsy is truly needed; it’s an invasive procedure. Instead, he relies on regular lab results to monitor my renal function. He diagnosed my CKD based on lab results, no biopsy. He ultimately decided to do a biopsy only because my data was atypical.
So, if I was in your situation I’d ask how frequently the nephrologist thinks i need labs run. I’d also share my concerns with my nephrologist; he or she might decide to run labs a little more frequently for my peace of mind.
In the meantime I’d keep drinking plenty of water and doing what you’ve been doing with protein intake on a daily basis. Also eat plenty of vegetables and fruits. In short, eat a healthy diet along with drinking plenty of water. Then get on with life while keeping an eye on my renal function with labs run as frequently as my nephrologist prescribes🐶
