Hair thinning
Hello, I’m 62 year old female, stage 3b
CKD
, gfr was 34 in june. My hair seems to have suddenly got much thinner. About 10 years ago i noticed massive change in hair texture post menopause but i’m wondering if this new stage could be related to the
ckd
?

New diagnosis
I was just diagnosed this morning with Stage 3b
CKD
. I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around it. My creatinine has been coming back elevated for more than a year but my PCP kept telling my it was nothing. My most recent levels came back higher than ever with a eGfr of 42.

CKD 3A
I was diagnosed with
CKD
3 in December 2023. I understand that my GFR was 49 and my urine was fine me, but apart from that I don’t have any other data.

Stage II CKD
Diagnosed Jan. 2022; egfr 55 at that time, Symptoms: high bp, recurrent UTI's (once yearly since 2021). BP up now, trying to get under control again. On beta blocker and ARB now, but info I've read (Mayo Clinic) suggest BB and ARB combined use less effective for hypertension. No reported adverse reactions

eGFR moving up???
While there are
CKD
warnings on the medication, there are also studies showing is slows
CKD
progression. I couldn't find anything about improving
CKD
. I've gained 8 points. I was at 22 before starting MJ. I know small fluctuations are normal, but 8 points?

Ckd 2 27 but very active
Question for you all. So, overall my nephrologist says my kidneys are normal structurally and the protein in my urine at its highest was 61, went to 18, and then was undetectable. I'd assume it is due to my life style changes and probably losing over 92 pounds. Anyway, Nephrologist said I can splurge

Salt innovation
Because of my high output ileostomy I NEED salt and potassium, so they aren't issues for me like they are for most with
CKD
. But this is indeed revolutionary. https://www.foodandwine.com/kirin-electric-salt-spoon-reduces-salt-intake-8653512

Introduction
Hello, I was just diagnosed with
CKD
(55-60 eGFR) and want to learn as much as I can to prevent my eGFR from going any lower. I am only 57 and want to live a long life. I do not have HBP or diabetes. I plan to read many posts and learn more.
