Today is i complete my first box of Jynarque, my last blood work and urine came back excellent! My Nephrologist is pleased and so am I.

I should receive my second set today to be able to continue in a timely manner.

That is something to discuss with your Nephrologist, I am early stage 3a 45-59: Mild to moderate reduction. Talk with your Nephrologist for more information.

My Jynarque dose is 45mg morning and 15mg eight hours after, my water intake is 3liters a day. My diet low salt, like you I eat lots of fruits and vegetables. There are some fruits I can have much of, apples, bananas, avocados even oranges sometimes they all make me nauseous🤢

I would suggest you talk to nutritionist god more information.

So far so good, I've had two sets of labs and I will be having another one next week plus an appointment with my Nephrologist so I will know if there are any changes. I will also share.
