What stage of CKD are you currently in?

Hi , thank you for sharing your experiences. It does seem like you've got a quite a few strikes against you as risk factors for CKD. Has your doctor been helpful in working with you to create a plan for your CKD management? I think I said this in a different comment of yours, but a new diagnosis can be definitely overwhelming. I hope you can take some time to process everything. I'd like to pass along this article about coping with a new diagnosis, maybe you'll find something helpful: https://chronic-kidney-disease.net/living/coping-new-diagnosis.

RA came first then the doctor told me to see nephrologist because medications were inflaming kidneys.

Do you only eat any meats such as turkey bacon, turkey, chicken baked, baked fish, baked salmon? Or do you occasionally fall of the wagon as I do and eat pork and hamburger or beef?

Hello , I also just got diagnosed with stage 3a. Did you start feeling bad or had symptoms? I didn't have a clue. I got an infection and they notice my kidney numbers were down slightly. A year goes by and just wasn't feeling too good. Durning blood work they notice my numbers were down more. Let us know how you are doing and if are you making any lifestyle changes.
