Hi all I am new to the forum and hope there may be someone out there that can help with some information please. . My husband has stage 4 CKD. hes had a very bad time of late and had a severe drop in his function which thankfully has been rectified by having a ureter stent fitted. This has improved his GFR by 10 points over the past few months but it is still very low. ( 24 at last test) . We are desperately doing everything we can by having a very strict diet and hydration because we desperately need him to reach at GFR of 30 again so that he can be considered for a cancer trial as Unfortunately he has also been just recently diagnosed with recurrent stomach cancer. Not a great year at all so far and what with COVID 19 on top .... I am sure many of you are also extremely worried too. We are come across a drug call Froxiga . It has primarily been used with patients who have diabetes but a by product of the trial is that can dramatically improved kidney function even in people without diabetes. I just wondered if anyone had any experience of this drug and if it has been effective as I cannot find it licensed for people with CKD as yet?
look forward to hearing from anyone who might have any information x
