My doctor just told me that my kidneys are functioning at 50% level and stop taking ibuprofen and drink 4 bottled waters per day.

He wants to see me in 3 mos. Help please, I’m scared.

I also had to stop taking a NSAID. I was diagnosed at CKD level of 3B (closer to 4). My Doctor prescribed a CKD diet based on levels of phosphorus, potassium, sodium and protein.

Maybe ask your Doctor if a CKD diet would be appropriate for you.

Did he base that “diagnosis” on something or was it just his tremendous predictive abilities? If you really want/need help,we need a tad bit more information. A CKD diagnosis is more complicated then just one blood test…most doctors won’t give a percentage of damage or functionally remaining as specific as 50%. So you need to explain what happened during your visit to cause him to give such a “cutting edge treatment plan of no NSAIDS and drink more water…if that’s how he sent you out the door I would never darken that quacks door again, as that’s idiotic period and boarding on malpractice…IF that’s how it really went down. Instead I suspect you are leaving out large chunks of info. Comeback with more info if you really want/need help.
