First post, should I be worried?
However, I am more aware than most of the efgr due to a family member having advanced stage
CKD
, mine is very low, I keep challenging GP and they say I’m fine, but looking at the efgr Tables to age, I’m not. Should I be worried or not? Im a worrier and it’s stressing me out.

62-year-old female with GFR drop from 91 to 46 in a year.
Anyone else ever experience this, and was it actually
CKD
or something that could be reversed? I am completely terrified of kidney failure.

Maybe bladder along with kidney
I've been told I do have
CKD
, but there may be other issues. I go again next week, then may learn something. Since my MD left the state, I've been assigned another doctor within the same group, but I won't go back for blood workup for about 4 more months. My Nephrologist has retired also.

Kidney failure definition
My dad has advised her that the GP is talking tosh and she is just stage 3
CKD
. I realise
CKD
/stages may be more complex than just egfr measurement with symptoms taken into account but I tend to agree that this is sadly yet another case of a medic ignorant of specific diseases.

Hi all. Just knew I have ckd stage 3.
I just got diagnosed with stage 3
ckd
. gfr is 57. creatinine is 1.6. I'm 37, newly married. I don't know that to do now. I started crying and I cant share this with my wife. She is happy right now after suffering her entire life financially or some other way.

Creatinine Question
Then my cardiologist said that I had
CKD
, which led to an appointment with a Nephrologist. Nephrologist confirmed
CKD
. I've just been doing some reading on the subject and apparently Testosterone Replacement causes muscle growth, which in turn causes Creatinine levels to go up.

does anyone know how to locate a plant based RD specializing in PKD?
I've had
CKD
PKD diagnosed finally in 2003. I was steady for seventeen years until my PCP put me on a triple group of meds to treat a UTI, which caused my eGFR to decline. I'm now at Stage 5 with eGFR of 10 and am eating a whole food plant based LPD to VLPD.

Update about my CKD
Hello! I wanted to give you an update on my health after seeing my nephrologist. Some nephritis seems to have attacked me a few years ago and left me with some problems resulting in signs of being in stage 3 kidney failure. He advised me to lose weight, to have a plant-based diet, to be careful not

Blood work numbers.
Do these look like
CKD
numbers? I'm being sent to a kidney specialist soon. My appointment was moved up over a month. Just trying to understand things a little before I go in.

CKD 2/low WBC count
Still considered Stage 2
CKD
. Vit. B12 lab ok, but I haven't been eating much animal protein, fish or dairy since dx., mostly plant based diet. Anyone else had leukopenia, symptoms and did your doctor discuss ways to increase count? Follow-up appt's May & July, but feel more crappy now.

Help and advice
Hi everyone, need some advice and reassurance if possible after being told I have
CKD
. A new GP took over at my surgery and as he was about to prescribe me some tablets he happened to say “Oh you can’t have them because of your
CKD
”. ????? First I had heard of it.

I have just been diagnosed with stage 3A
CKD
and want to know how much to change my diet. Do I just need to cut back on bananas, avocado, young spinach and coffee etc or actually cut them out?

Kidney tracker apps?
Hi, I've just been diagnosed with stage 4
CKD
. I'm learning about nutrition and it's a steep learning curve. I've been trying to find a good, easy to use tracker for my smartphone. The ones I've looked at either want money or they are too complicated.

Reassurance needed
I'm 65, living in the UK, hovering between
ckd
stage 3a/3bEgfr currently 49, lowest 40 last year. I've never had a problem with my acr until last month when I developed albumin my urine and went into acr stage 2. Just came back from a gp appointment, she is starting me on ramapril 2.5mg.

GFR stable but now proteinutra
I have early
CKD
, diagnosed as 3A but technically I'm at the end of stage 2 with a GFR of 61. I am diabetic but my blood pressure is fine. I recently noticed bubbles in my urine which my doctor says is protein - the issue is I haven't seen this for maybe a year and now it's back.
