What stage of CKD are you currently in?

l am stage 3B as of recently. I started this journey by having kidney stones 3 or 4 times. I am overweight and I have a fatty liver. I need to lose around 75 lbs. I'm also diabetic (B). Many strikes against me

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.

stage 3b. Started on stage 4 but with diet and exercise have improved to stage 3b.

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

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.
