I have recently been diagnosed with stage 3 ckd.
I’m devastated to say the least. I am 52 years old.
I have hypertension and have had to use NSAIDS for years for pain. I can no longer use them. My gp thinks this may have cause it.
I have tried Tylenol and it seems to make me bleed also. I initially had a tight sensation in my back, almost like a swelling or spasm. Ultrasound found no stones or abnormalities.
Since I have been on new bp meds I have had less of that but I do have lower back pain and either what could be defined as fog brain or dizziness.
My gfr is 53. Creatine is 1.34.Bun was 16.
No potassium issues.
Prior to this lasted test I did a 24 hour urine test which said that I have all normal labs except my protein was 450. Way to high.
Can anyone tell me if they have had success with the ace inhibitors controlling the protein? Most people say they don’t have pain at this stage. I wonder if it could be something else.
I see a nephrologist in 3 weeks.Mr Kidney do you have any advice that you can give me?
I am
Following a low protein, low sodium diet.
Has anyone had the same issues as I?
