Hello, I'm new.
I had a surprise text in March saying that
ckd
stage 3a was found in 2019 in a blood test I requested for something else. No further action was recorded so I have only heard about it this year, nearly 4 years later! My docs practice has changed hands and my records updated and so I was informed.

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?

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.

Need reassurance for upcoming fistula surgery
I am in
CKD
stage 5 and my last GFR was 13. Other than anemia, which I’ve been getting EPO injections and IV Iron for the past 1.5 years, and metabolic acidosis, I feel okay. My other electrolytes have been in the normal range so far.

Back on Haemodialysis
I have been declining with stage 5
CKD
over the last couple of years. Originally I had atypical HUS which caused my kidney failure. I had my catheter put in yesterday and haemodialysis for 1 hour. 2 hours booked Monday and will be increased again Wednesday.

What do you tell friends and acquaintances?
Of course my family and close friends know that I have
CKD
. Should I just call it that to everyone? I’m wondering what people here said when first diagnosed? Thanks
