Thanks @karenben, So far so good my new kidney function is fairly good ( btw: my wife was the donor ... a miracle in my mind ) till today..completed 4&1/2 yrs, Yes in my view - hyperkalemia was the beginning where the kidney function is on a downward slope...final stage is when you go in phosphate binders..at that time pretty much your kidney function is below 20 (my experience) time to come down below 20 towards 12 gfr varies per person could be 2 yrs, few months or less . .. that is a big variable. Best

Hello again, My husband suggested I mention this, that other than high potassium all else looks good, my kidney function is good and I have robust energy. I walk 6 miles a day, ballroom dance, lift weights...and on and on for a 72 year old! He thinks if I had kidney disease I would be symptomatic in other ways. He has stage 3 kidney disease. Anyhow, thanks if you have any thoughts. I tend to be as you might have guessed a bit of a worryier. I see my provider on Friday for a retest.
