What category of Intermediate Risk Am I?
I have
CKD
3b, and a solitary kidney. I am 6.5 years in remission from UTUC kidney cancer. A number of papers indicate that HT could be detrimental to my kidney. Those with FIR PCa could avoid HT with little risk.

How do I convince my husband?
Then I got
CKD
with some serious diet restrictions. I don't think he's ever taken it that seriously. To appease him I would continue to eat somewhat like him. ButI began cutting out most salt and putting the salt shaker on the table for him.

FATIGUE
Has anyone with stage 4
ckd
been so fatigued that they could hardly put one foot in front of the other? Granted, I had some surgeries and other problems that rendered me quite sedentary, and being almost 77, I wonder if I haven’t acquired Sarcopenia, or if I’m just totally out of shape?

lisinopril
My GP, supported by my consultant has prescribed an Ace inhibitor Lisinopril as it is great benefit for
CKD
, even if you don’t have hypertension or diabetes. When I started on 10mg, 12 days ago, I felt so much better and had more energy, obviously due to better blood flow I believe.

amount of protein allowed daily?
I am 14st 7lbs and have stage 3a
CKD
. I was working out how much protein I should have daily and I believe it is 1.6 oz. Seems so little but if that’s what I need to do, we’ll so be it. Is that the right amount?

Post Nephrectomy Diet, CKD, diet, supplements
Hello, I had a Radical Nephrectomy in December 2021; I had been having digestive issues for some time (1-2 years prior to diagnosis; really, most of my life), and misdiagnosed I assume numerous times as Western medicine said "nothing wrong," you just need to get yourself on a LOW-Fod diet, nothing

Recommended Tracking App - Easy to use, tracks what I need to monitor for CKD
As my
CKD
disease progresses I will need some of the paid features, such as customizing my Macronutrient Targets. After I meet with my doctor I will find out what my target values should be.
