This to me is helpful My thoughts is that it gives good education and helpful things one can do in dealing with CKD.

"This learning guide is here to help people learn about kidney disease and its related conditions at their own pace. Knowing as much as you can about kidney disease is an important part of managing your health and meeting the challenges that might come up ahead. "

Thanks for a good help.

Thank you for sharing this information! I'm an RN of 33 years and I'd like to think I know about CKD until it happens to you! I'm in stage 3b. I only have one kidney to begin with. Found out when I was 18 & likely was that way from birth, or I had vesicoureteral reflux, like my dtr has. Her 1st UTI was at 6 weeks old. If I had them, they were silent. I've had sepsis infection 12 times; twice with septic shock. They think that the very strong antibiotics have damaged my remaining kidney & caused other co-morbidities. I could go on, but I won't. Please let us know what you find out at the Dr.
