Help trying to raise my egfr if thats possible.

[neidrum]

I just found out I have ckd 3, I'm trying to raise it and don't know how. I took my first blood test May 5th and my blood test was egfr was 58. Yesterday I had another blood test with Wel-HealthTeam.

I've been taken Kidney cleanse since June hoping my test come out better.

Yes it is possible with suitable diet and wellbeing changes eg my mum (age 66) increased hers from 36 to 76 in ~5y after a nephrectomy. Noting your comment "don't know how", you could engage a naturopathic nutritionist and you can private message me for further details.

Read Lee Hull. Stopping Kidney Disease. He also has a cookbook with same name. He has been a kidney patient for years and can educate all who want to know and do the latest in kidney treatmet. That's how I learned also as a patient who recently started to find out how to increase egfr. Be patient and lenient with yourself. And good luck. Sally

I think you meant to reply to neidrum? Ive got Lee Hull book but unread yet. Can you share your own improvements?

[Arex777blue in reply to userotc]

Gladly but too soon to have much info. First and almost immediately, my LDL is in normal range. This, for me, is an accoplishment. Otherwise, am waiting for latest lab results. I'm, aiming for once a month testing. Meanwhile, do read Lee Hull, not the basics book, the other one. If you don't have it by all means get it. And READ IT. He has soooo much experience and bravery. Don't count on your so called general practitioners until after you read. Then you'll have a better grasp. Sally

Don't worry, we never count on any medics including GPs and mum's nephro! They've done nothing to help her CKD it's all DIY. And not interested in her proteinuria.

Plan to read the book in future but probably only if)when mum needs to consider VLPD. We are keeping it in reserve for the proteinuria whilst balancing vs her muscle loss

Ive shared some details with several in earlier posts either on here or via pm. But I always caution against sharing others' protocols which should be specific, based on various, individualised factors. Hence why I usually suggest engagement with a naturopathic nutritionist who should get key background info from the client.

YES, IT IS DEFINITELY POSSIBLE!

I highly recommend Dadvice on YouTube. (youtube.com/c/DADVICETV)He had significantly improved his kidney function from the point of needing dialysis to living a normal life with an impressive increase in his kidney function levels. There is a great deal of information on his channel (especially from Dr. Rosansky) that will be more educational than most doctors people see for CKD! A very important video by him is the following which I highly recommend:

Hope this helps you!

Hi HislittleOne, thank you for sharing this video, you are right it is very good to hear from academic researcher experienced doctor about important stuff as protein leakage in urine. That was great!

[neidrum in reply to Futureckd]

Yes, the information was great, I can't wait to get the book to show my doctor, I feel a little less stressed because my doctor is only concerned with my weight. Like the Dr. Rosansky said," we probably go with heart or other diseases before our kidney goes".

[Futureckd in reply to neidrum]

Yes, I also ordered the book. Also I started the Losartan as my neph wanted me to take it to prevent problem in the heart but I was not excited about it. Now with the same info came from another doctor, I felt that I should get started on Losartan,

Hi, got my blood test egfr was 58 up to 65. But I have Hyperparathyroidism: primary, secondary & tertiary all high, that was the Wel-Team blood work. I guess when I see my Dr. in Aug, she'll tell me about that. Like Dr. Rosansky said, "don't worry about your kidney some other disease will go before them". If it not this, it's that can't win when you get older.

[Futureckd in reply to neidrum]

It is good that egfr is 65. How high is your parathyroidism ? My previous neph told me that it is naturally high for ckd. How high is high?

[neidrum in reply to Futureckd]

let me type the report: Parathyroid Normal, hypoparathyroiddism Low, Hyperparathyroidism, primary, secondary, & tertiary High, non-parathyroid hypercalcemia High. I'm not familiar with this I do know it means, I have high thyroids.

[Futureckd in reply to neidrum]

I am sorry neidrum, I am also not familiar with these too many terms. In one of my blood test results I saw one term which is the parathyroidism, I hope you get the explanation you need from your doctor.

[neidrum in reply to HisLittleOne]

I used to be really stressed out about my kidneys, but my blood test & this video help me see other parts of my body is more seriously falling apart. My thyroids are high, looking into this the foods are Simmerly to my kidney diet. I see my doctor in Aug and I understand what the Wel-Team said, "I'd get blood work when I see her". I believe in herbs and see if there's a difference in my thyroids by then. I'm really wonder why in May when I had blood work this was never mentioned.
