I have ckd3 ,,I only have one kidney ,at a scan 7 years ago ,it was found I had a shrivelled kidney and one working at 60% ,the scan was nothing to do with kidneys ,since then been diagnosed ckd3,,I follow a healthy diet anyway ,as much as possible eating local foods ,,I do like the odd glass of wine and pkt crisps bar of chocolate etc but not at all on a regular basis I lost 32 pounds ,before joining ,and want to lose 10 more ,,feel better than I did two years ago ,,

The thing is since lockdown and our surgery is closed down ,havnt had any blood tests to see where I’m at now ,,it was 49% at lockdown ,,not too concerned ,cos I just get on with it ,,but I preferred to get the regular six week update ,,just wondering how everyone else is coping with that ?

I was diagnosed at CKD 3 and have blood work every 6 months but now longer due to pandemic and changing Primary Doctor. I just keep on my prescribed diet.
