CKD minerals and labs?
Hello. New here and new to ckd. I’m just wondering, with your lab results, when you have high potassium do you also have high everything else? Sodium calcium etc? Asking because my dad has consistently high potassium and low sodium. But right now he’s having mild edema on his legs. Our nephro keeps saying

Salt or no salt
Just after I had 2 stents fitted just over 4 years ago, I was advised to cut salt out of my diet as it was considered that there was enough salt in the food already. Recently had a blood test that reveals that I’m low in sodium. Anyone shed any light on this? Cheers.

Spironolactone and sodium
Should doctor monitor kidneys and sodium/potassium levels while taking spironolactone 50mg? If yes how often?

ACR Ratio Confusion
My PCP has issued labs to monitor my kidneys. To date no formal diagnosis. My blood sodium, potassium, creatinine; always in the normal range. My urine pH, Protein, Glucose, Ketones, Erythrocytes, Nitrate, and Leukocytes are also always in the normal range. Two generations of Acute Nephritis in family

Comments, advice, info, etc
I was dx with CKD, Phase3, in 2018. GRF stayed between 55-60, I spill protein and have since being dx with diabetes in 2003. In the last 8 months or so, protein in urine has gone way up, as has my potassium. Now trying to stay low potassium, cutting sodium. My question is: I rarely salt my food

Update - ADT with Zytiga Failure (Castration Resistant) after 6 Months (PSA 90.3); Firmagon still Working; PSMA PET Scan Ordered
I came right out of the gate with Gleason 9 Stage 4 Advanced Prostate Cancer with more than 5 Metastases in January of this year. Firmagon brought the Testosterone down to < 7 almost right away, but PSA went to 160. Zytiga and Prednisone were added in March and brought the PSA back down to 5. The PSA

Has anyone tried Mirtazapine?
My doctors put me on these. I’d say there great for sleeping but don’t seem to be helping anything else. I am still using codeine to control the symptoms. I don’t use them every day. But I find they work. The most I use is 3 or maybe 4 on a bad day. I prefer them to Imodium because for some reason Imodium

Adcal or not
Sorry I'm unable to cut and paste. A recent letter to a doctor in the newspaper asked about having taken Lansoprazole for a problem can cause bones to thin. Recently diagnosed with advanced Osteoporosis she has been prescribed AA and Adcal. The doctor suggests that calcium carbonate would be better changed

Staying on the Path
After having multiple back surgeries I became extremely inactive afraid to move because of pain. This led to weight gain and I developed diabetes. That was my wake up call. Not being a fan of medication I began following a diabetic diet and through reading I found so much more information that I was

A tip from a fellow panic attacker who thinks can help us ...
Hello all. Today, I had a 74 yr old lady (who suffers from panic attacks) tell me she finally found something that has helped her! I have not tried or done this yet but thought I'd pass it along to my friends to see if they've heard of it, or have tried it before. She drastically reduced the sodium intake
