Ckd 2 and Amlodipine
I'm taking a low dose of Amlodipine now and Lisinopril to regulate blood pressure. I've read there have been some evidence of calcium blockers contributing to progression. I'm checking sources with conflicting views. Any input from the group? Thanks for your time!

CKD 2 and relationship
Hey all, this isn't entirely kidney related but I feel like I need some support from the group. My dog got cancer in October and passed away a few weeks ago. My partner and I occasionally disagreed on his care, sometimes she forgot his cancer pills, and it made me rather upset when those things would

amiodarone
Because of other underlying problems with
CKD
, doc put me on Amiodarone 200mg daily, along with Nebivolol bi-daily, replacing Bisoprolol. Was discharged after 6 days when heart rate was consistently below 80bpm.

How much salt is good for an elderly CKD patient?
I am an 89 years old, G3b/A2
CKD
patient. Since I raised my daily salt dose from under 5g to over 7g, my plasma sodium level went from chronically low to normal.

% drinks
According to
CKD
diet the alcohol drinks are stricktly prohibited. But sometimes I break this rule. And I think many other people do that. I really apreciate people who can follow diet rules on 100%, but I can't do this.

I am confused CKD
eGFR using creatiniine (
CKD
-EPI) per 1.73 square metres 57 mL/min/1.73*2 (>60.0) which then states "below low reference limit". Serum urea level 7.1 mmoI/L Can anyone clarify what is going on here with these results?

Yes, definitely
Btw, most people with
ckd
die from a heart condition before reaching dialysis necessity (90%). Healthy diet and exercise greatly reduces cardiovascular risks for 98% of people.

Bicarb of soda
I've read about someone with
CKD
taking Bicarb or baking soda, about 1/4 tsp under their tongue every day to stop the steady progression of the disease. I tried it last night and found it to be salty and a bit excessive. Think I ought to check it out with you all before I do it again.
